Leave the system on during ordinary driving so that it can operate when needed. When traction control is applied, the slip indicator light blinks. If your vehicle still skids even though traction control is applied, more powerful traction control is applied and the "SNOW" indicator light comes on. You may hear a slight clicking noise in the engine compartment when the engine is started. This means that the traction control system is in the self-check mode, and does not indicate malfunction. When the traction control system is operating, you may feel vibration of your vehicle, caused by operation of the brakes. This indicates the system is functioning properly. When getting the vehicle out of mud or new snow, etc. the traction control system will operate to prevent the wheels from spinning. Even though the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the engine speed will be restrained to a certain level. MANUAL SNOW OPERATION You can select the snow mode by pushing the "SNOW" switch. The "SNOW" indicator light will come on. To select the automatic mode, push the "OFF" switch. The "SNOW" indicator light will go off. If your vehicle still skids, the system automatically operates. MANUAL TRACTION CONTROL OFF OPERATION You can turn off the traction control system by pushing the "OFF" switch. The "TRAC OFF" indicator/warning light will come on. Pushing the "OFF" switch a second time turns on the traction control system and the "TRAC OFF" indicator/warning light will go off. If the "SNOW" indicator light is on, pushing the "OFF" switch once selects the automatic mode and pushing it a second time turns off the traction control system. 105
