Low Traction Mode
If the vehicle has the Hydra-Matic
6-Speed Automatic Transmission, it
has a Low Traction Mode that
assists in vehicle acceleration when
road conditions are slippery, such
as with ice or snow. While the
vehicle is at a stop, select the
second gear range using Range
Selection Mode. This will limit
torque to the wheels after it detects
wheel slip, preventing the tires from
spinning.
