This light will come on when your Traction Control
System is limiting wheel spin. See Traction Active
Message on page 3-40.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this is
normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. See Cruise Control Light

The Traction Control System operates in all transaxle
shift lever positions. But the system can upshift the
transaxle only as high as the shift lever position you've
chosen, so you should use the lower gears only
when necessary. See Auto,matk

When the system is on,
this warning light will come
on to let you know if
there's a problem.
See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on
page 3-33. When this warning light is on, the system will
not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave the Traction Control
System on. But you can turn the system off if you
ever need to.
You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets
stuck in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle
is required. See if You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow on page 4-30.
