Driving
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 will not“rev-up” when you push further on the accelerator. This
is normal system behavior and should be no reason for concern.
The Traction Control switch,
located on the right-hand side of the
instrument cluster, has an indicator
O
light that illuminates when the
F
F
T/C
system is off. The Traction Control
system will automatically turn on
every time the ignition is turned off
and on.
If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a very slippery road
surface, try switching the Traction Control system off. This may allow
excess wheel spin to“dig” the vehicle out and enable a successful
“
rocking” maneuver.
If a system fault is detected, the traction control active light will
illuminate, the Traction Control button will not turn the system on or
off and your vehicle should be serviced.
STEERING
To prevent damage to the power steering system:
•
•
Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it
stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.
Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned
off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•
•
•
•
•
an improperly inflated tire
uneven tire wear
loose or worn suspension components
loose or worn steering components
improper steering alignment
