The Traction Control 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.
See "Traction Control System Warning Light" in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

This warning light will
come on to let you know if
there's a problem with your
traction control system.
The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But you can turn the
traction control system off if you ever need to. You
should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck
in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is
required. See "Rocking Your Vehicle" in the Index.
To turn the system on or
off, press the TRACTION
CONTROL button on
the console.
