When the system is on, this warning
light comes on and stays on if there
is a problem.
A SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL
message also appears on the DIC.
When this warning light is on, the
system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
See Ride Control System
Messages in the owner manual.
To limit wheel spin, especially in
slippery road conditions, TCS
should always be left on. But the
system can be turned off if needed.
Turn the system off if the vehicle
gets stuck in sand, mud, or snow
and rocking the vehicle is required.
See If the Vehicle Is Stuck in the
owner manual.
To disable both traction control and
ESC, press and hold the ESC OFF
button briefly.
When the ESC OFF button is
pressed, the ESC Off light comes
on and PERFORMANCE MODE
displays in the DIC. The TCS is
still active, but limited to driveline
protection only. ESC is also active,
but is limited to high speed pursuit
purposes.
Press the ESC OFF button again
to turn the system back on.
The TRACTION CONTROL ON
message will appear in the DIC.
Adding non dealer accessories
can affect the vehicle performance.
See Accessories and Modifications
in the owner manual.
Your vehicle may have an Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system
which combines antilock brake,
traction, and stability control
systems and helps the driver
maintain directional control of the
vehicle in most driving conditions.
When you first start your vehicle
and begin to drive away, the system
performs several diagnostic checks
to ensure there are no problems.
You may hear or feel the system
working. This is normal and does
not mean there is a problem with
your vehicle. The system should
initialize before the vehicle reaches
32 km/h (20 mph).
