Traction
Control
System
(Option:
3800
V6
Engine)
Your vehicle may have
a
traction control system that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery
road conditions. The system operates only
if it senses
that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction.
When this happens, the system works the front brakes
and reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
The LOW TRACTION light will come on when your
traction control system is limiting wheel spin. See “Low
Traction Light”
in
the Index. You may feel the system
working, or you may notice some noise, but this is
normal.
If
your vehicle
is
in cruise control when the traction
control 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.)
TCS
The TCS warning light will come on to let you know if
there’s a problem with your traction control system.
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.
