TCS operates in all transmission shift lever positions.

But the system can upshift the transmission only as high

as the shift lever position you have chosen, so you

should use the lower gears only when necessary. See

Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-20

and/or Manual Transmission Operation on page 2-23 for

more information.

If there is a problem with TCS, TRACTION FAULT will

be displayed on your Driver Information Center

(DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-39

for more information.

When this warning is displayed, the system will not limit

wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions,

you should always leave TCS on. But you can turn the

system off if you ever need to. You should turn the

system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud 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 4-41.

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

Driving on Curves

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 your 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.
