The traction control system may activate on dry or

rough roads or under conditions such as heavy

acceleration while turning or abrupt upshifts/downshifts

of the transaxle. When this happens you may notice

a reduction in acceleration, or may hear a noise

or vibration. This is normal.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the system

activates, the STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVE message

will appear on the DIC and the cruise control will

automatically disengage. When road conditions allow

you to use cruise again, you may re-engage the cruise

control. See Cruise Control on page 3-10.

StabiliTrak

may also turn off automatically if it

determines that a problem exists with the system. If the

problem does not clear itself after restarting the

vehicle, you should see your dealer/retailer for service.

Steering

Power Steering

If you lose power steering assist because the engine

stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but

it will take much more effort.

Steering Tips

It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed.

A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on

the news happen on curves. Here is why:

Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to

the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The

traction of the tires against the road surface makes it

possible for the vehicle to change its path when you turn

the front wheels. If there is no traction, inertia will keep

the vehicle going in the same direction. If you have

ever tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you will

understand this.

The traction you can get in a curve depends on the

condition of the tires and the road surface, the angle at

which the curve is banked, and your speed. While you are

in a curve, speed is the one factor you can control.

Suppose you are steering through a sharp curve.

Then you suddenly apply the brakes. Both control

systems — steering and braking — have to do their work

where the tires meet the road. Unless you have antilock

brakes, adding the hard braking can demand too much of

those places. You can lose control.

The same thing can happen if you are steering through a

sharp curve and you suddenly accelerate. Those two

control systems — steering and acceleration — can

overwhelm those places where the tires meet the road

and make you lose control. See Traction Control System

(TCS) on page 4-6 and StabiliTrak

System on page 4-7.
