UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 203 22. Trac Off Indicator - If Equipped This display indicator should illuminate for approximately four seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. The "TRAC OFF" Indicator will flash if the traction control is in use. The "TRAC OFF" Indicator will illuminate if: • The Traction Control switch has been used to turn the system OFF. • There is a Traction Control System malfunction • The system has been deactivated to prevent damage to the brake system due to overheated brake temperatures. NOTE: Extended heavy use of Traction Control may cause the system to deactivate and turn on the TRAC and the OFF indicators located in the instrument cluster. This is to prevent overheating of the brake system and is a normal condition. The system will remain disabled for about 4 minutes until the brakes have cooled. The system will automatically reactivate and turn off the TRAC and the OFF indicators. If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, ice, or snow, turn the Traction Control System OFF before attempting to "rock" the vehicle free. 23. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. 4
