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.

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, ice or snow. See “Rocking Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)

To turn the system off, press the TRACTION OFF
button located at the end of the shift lever on the right
side of the steering wheel.

The traction control system warning light will come on
and stay on. If the system is limiting wheel spin when
you press the button, the warning light will come 
on 

--

 but the system won’t turn off right away. 

It will wait until there’s no longer a current need to 
limit wheel spin.

You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing
the button again. The traction control system warning
light should go off.

Braking in Emergencies

With anti

lock, you can steer and brake at the same

time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.
