L
Traction
Control
System
Warning
Light
(OPTION)
The
TRACTION
OFF
warning
light
means
that
the
system
is
not
working.
This
warning
light
may
come
on
for the
following
reasons:
If
your transaxle
overheats,
the
traction
control
system
automatically
shuts
off
until
the
transaxle
cools. The
warning
light
will
come
on
and
stay
on
during
that
time.
If
your
brakes overheat,
the
traction
control system
will
go
off
and
the
warning
light
will
come
on
until
your
brakes
cool
down.
The
warning
light
will
come
on
for
varying
periods
of
time.
If
you turn
the
system
off by pressing
the
switch
on
the
center
console
while
the
vehicle
is
stopped,
the
warning
light
will
come on and
stay on. To
turn
the
system
back on, bring
the
vehicle
to
a
stop
and
press
the
switch
again. The warning
light
should
go
off. The system
will also turn
itself
on
if
you turn
your
ignition
off
and
back
on again.
If the
TRACTION
OFF
warning
light
comes on
and
stays
on
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
even
when
you've
switched
the
system on, your
vehicle
needs service.
If
you
let
your
tires
spin
at
high
sped
when
the
TRACTION
OFF
warning
light
is
on,
they
can
explode
and
you
or
othm
could
be
injured.
And,
spinning
your
tires
with
the
TRACTION
OFF'
warning
light
on
can
cause
the
transaxle
to
overheat
or
can
cause
other
problems.
That
could
cause
an
engine
fire
or
other
damage.
When
you're
stuck,
spin
the
wheels
as
little
as
possible.
Don't
spin
the
wheels
above
35
mph
(56
h / h )
as
shown
on
the
speedometer.
