Traction Control System (TCS) The vehicle has a traction control system that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. On a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the system operates if it senses that one or both of the rear wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. On an All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) vehicle, the system will operate if it senses that any of the wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system brakes the spinning wheel(s) and/or reduces engine power to limit wheel spin. To change from Stability Touring Mode to Stability Off Mode, press and hold the TC button until the STABILITY SYS OFF message is displayed on the DIC. To change from Stability Off Mode to Stability Touring Mode, press and release the TC button and the STABILITY TOURING MODE message will be displayed on the DIC. . 5-9
