Driving
Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal
injury or property damage. The occurrence of a Traction Control
event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If you
experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.
The Traction Control
located on the center console, has
an indicator light that illuminates
when the system is off. The Traction
Control system will automatically
turn on every time the ignition is
turned off and on. The Traction
Control system should normally be
left on.
If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a very slippery road
surface, try switching the Traction Control
excess wheel spin to "dig" the vehicle out and enable a successful
"rocking" maneuver.
If a system fault is detected, the traction control active light will
illuminate, the Traction Control
off and your vehicle should be serviced by an authorized dealer.
STEERING
To help prevent damage to the power steering system:
• Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it
stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.
• Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
• Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check
for a low power steering fluid level before seeking service by your
authorized dealer.
• Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by a low power
steering fluid level. Check for a low power steering fluid level before
seeking service by your authorized dealer.
• Do not fill the power steering fluid reservoir above the MAX mark on
the reservoir, as this may result in leaks from the reservoir.
