Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning Light
If your vehicle has a
Traction Control System
(TCS), the traction
control system warning
light may come on for the
following reasons:
•
If you turn the system off by pressing the traction
control button located on the black panel directly
behind your automatic transaxle shift lever, the
warning light will come on and stay on. To turn the
system back on, press the button again. The
warning light should go off. See Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 4-10 for more information.
•
With Full-Range Traction Control equipped vehicles,
if there’s a brake system problem that is specifically
related to traction control, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning light will come
on. If your brakes begin to overheat, the traction
control system will turn off and the warning light will
come on until your brakes cool down.
•
If the traction control system is affected by an
engine-related problem, the system will turn off and
the warning light will come on.
•
With Full-Range Traction Control, if there is a base
brake problem, the system will turn off and the light
will come on.
If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Low Traction Light
If your vehicle has the
traction control system,
this light will come on when
the system is limiting
wheel spin.
You may feel or hear the traction control 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 traction control system stops
limiting wheel spin. See Traction Control System (TCS)
on page 4-10 or Full-Range Traction Control System
on page 4-9.
