If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS 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” in the Index.)
The SERVICE TRACTION
SYSTEM message and the
TCS warning light will
come on to let you know if
there’s
a
problem with your
TCS system.
See
“SERVICE TRACTION
SYSTEM Message” in
the Index.
The TCS 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 TCS system
off
if you
ever need to.
To turn the system
off,
press
the button located on the
console.
You
can turn the
system ON
or
OFF
at any
time by pressing the TCS
switch. The DIC will
display the appropriate
message when you push
the button.
f
When this light and the SERVICE TRACTION
SYSTEM message are on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
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.
