If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS 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. When the TRAC OFF light is on, the TCS is off and will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. The TRAC OFF light will come on under the following conditions: D The Traction Control System is turned off, either by pressing the TCS on/off button or turning off the automatic engagement feature of the TCS. D The transmission is in FIRST (1); TCS will not operate in this gear. This is normal. When the vehicle leaves the rough surface, slows down or stops, the light will go off and TCS will be on again. This is normal. D A Traction Control System, Anti-Lock Brake System or engine-related problem has been detected and the vehicle needs service. See "Traction Off Light" in the Index. The Traction Control System, as delivered from the factory, will automatically come 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 off if you ever need to. You should turn the TCS off if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is required. See "Rocking Your Vehicle" in the Index. To turn the system on or off press the TCS on/off button located to the right of the steering wheel, on the instrument panel. D The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road. 4-10
