Enhanced Traction System (ETS)

If your vehicle has the 3800 V6 engine and anti-lock
brakes, 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.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the enhanced
traction system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. See Cruise Control Lever
on page 3-8 .
This symbol will appear on
the Driver Information
Center (DIC) when your
Enhanced Traction System
is limiting wheel spin.
