Driving and Operating If cruise control is being used when TCS begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. Cruise control may be reengaged when road conditions allow. See Cruise Control on page 9‑45. TCS automatically comes on whenever the vehicle is started. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, the system should always be left on. TCS can be turned off if needed. 9-37 The system can be turned on or off at any time by pressing the Active Handling button. The DIC will display the appropriate message when the button is pushed. Notice: When traction control is turned off, or Competitive Driving Mode is active, it is possible to lose traction. If you attempt to shift with the drive wheels spinning with a loss of traction, it is possible to cause damage to the transmission. Do not attempt to shift when the drive wheels do not have traction. Damage caused by misuse of the vehicle is not covered. See the warranty book for additional information. Adding non-dealer accessories can affect the vehicle's performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 10‑3 for more information. The SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM message and the Active Handling System light will come on if there is a problem with TCS. See Ride Control System Messages on page 5‑44. When this light and the SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM message are on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. To turn the system off, press the Active Handling button located on the center console. The Traction Off light comes on.
