When the transaxle shift
I
lever is in any position
ETS
other than FIRST (1) or
OFF
SECOND (2) and the
parking brake is fully
released, this warning light
will come on to let you
know if there's a problem
with the system.
See "Enhanced Traction System Warning Light" in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The Enhanced Traction System can operate when the
transaxle shift lever is in any position other than
FIRST (1) or SECOND (2). To limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, you should use
the other shift lever positions only when necessary. See
"Automatic Transaxle" in the Index.
(If
your vehicle
ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow, see "Rocking
Your Vehicle" in the Index.)
When you move the shift lever to FIRST (1) or
SECOND (2), the system will turn off. The Enhanced
Traction System warning light will come on and stay on.
If the Enhanced Traction System is limiting wheel spin
when you move the shift lever to another position, the
system won't turn off right away. It will wait until
there's no longer a current need to limit wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by moving
the shift lever to any position other than FIRST (1) or
SECOND (2). The Enhanced Traction System warning
light should go off.
