To turn the system off or on, press and release this button located in front of the shift lever. Adding non‐dealer accessories can affect the vehicle's performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 6 ‑ 3 for more information. Magnetic Ride Control™ The vehicle may have Magnetic Ride Control that automatically adjusts the ride of the vehicle. The controller receives input from the system to determine the proper ride. If the controller detects a problem within the system, the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4 ‑ 62 for more information. If this message appears, have the vehicle serviced at your dealer. TCS automatically comes on whenever the vehicle is started. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, always leave the system turned on. TCS can be turned off if needed. The system can be turned on or off at any time by pressing the TCS button. The DIC will display TRACTION CONTROL OFF when the button is pressed, and part of the traction control system is disabled. The vehicle will still have brake-traction control, but will not be able to use the engine speed management system. System noises may be heard as a result of the brake-traction control working. If the controller detects excessive wheel spin in this mode, the TCS/StabiliTrak light may blink. It is recommended to leave the system on for normal driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn the system off if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow, and you want to "rock" the vehicle to attempt to free it. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 5‑17. Electronically Controlled Air Ride Suspension Professional Vehicles may have Electronically Controlled Air Suspension. The air ride controller receives input from the system to determine the proper ride. If the controller detects a problem with the system, the DIC will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS message. If this message appears, have the vehicle serviced at your dealer. 5-7
