TRACTION CONTROLி (IF EQUIPPED) The Traction Control௢ system helps you maintain the stability and steerability of your vehicle, especially on slippery road surfaces such as snow- or ice-covered roads and gravel roads. The system will allow your vehicle to make better use of available traction in these conditions. During Traction Control௢ operation, the traction control active light will illuminate, you may hear an electric motor type of sound coming from the engine compartment, and the engine may not "rev-up" when you push further on the accelerator. This is normal system behavior and should be no reason for concern. 174 2007 Milan (mln) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
