This light will come on when your traction control system is limiting wheel spin. See Low Traction Light on page 3-33. You may feel or hear the system working, but this is normal. If your vehicle is equipped with the 2.2L four cylinder engine, the traction control system can be turned off by pressing the traction control button. It is located on the instrument panel above the audio system. The traction control system automatically comes on whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should always leave the system on. But you can turn the traction control system off if you ever need to. You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow and rocking the vehicle is required. See "Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out" under If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-44. The light on the button will go off. If your vehicle is equipped with the 3.5L V6 engine, the traction control system will be turned off when the shift lever is in REVERSE (R) or LOW (L). The traction control system warning light will be displayed on the instrument panel. The traction control system can be activated again by pressing the traction control button for the 2.2L four cylinder engine, or by selecting DRIVE (D) or INTERMEDIATE (I) for the 3.5L V6 engine. 4-11
