Enhanced Traction System
(3100 or 3800 Engine)
Your vehicle may have an Enhanced Traction System
(ETS) that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it
senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning
or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system reduces engine power and may also upshift the
transaxle to limit wheel spin.
LOW
TRAC
This light will come on
when your Enhanced
Traction System is limiting
wheel spin. See "Enhanced
Traction System Warning
Light
"
in the index.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
The Enhanced Traction 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 "Automatic Transaxle" in
the
Index.

This warning light will
come
on to
let you know if
there's a problem with the
TRAC
OFF
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.
To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave the Enhanced
Traction 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, ice or snow. See
"Rocking Your Vehicle" in the Index.)
