If the Enhanced Traction System warning light
comes on and stays on for an extended period of

When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

Low Traction Light

You may feel or hear the system working, but this is
normal. Slippery road conditions may exist if the low
traction light comes on, so adjust your driving
accordingly. The light will stay on for a few seconds
-
after the anti lock system stops adjusting brake pressure
or the Enhanced Traction System or the Traction
Control System stops limiting wheel spin. See
"Enhanced Traction System" or "Traction Control
System" in the Index.
The low traction light also comes on briefly when you
turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light doesn't come
on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you when
the Traction Control System or Enhanced Traction
System is active.
If you have the Enhanced
Traction System or the
Traction Control System,
this light will also come on
when the system is limiting
wheel spin.
