Traction Assist System (TAS)

Your two-wheel drive vehicle may have a Traction

Assist System (TAS) that limits wheel spin. This

is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The

system operates only if it senses that one or both of the

rear wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction.

When this happens, the system reduces engine

power to limit wheel spin.

The low traction symbol next to the button will come on

when the TAS is limiting wheel spin. You may feel or

hear the system working, but this is normal.

The Traction Assist System may operate on dry roads

under some conditions. When this happens, you

may notice a reduction in acceleration. This is normal

and doesn’t mean there’s a problem with your vehicle.

Examples of these conditions include a hard

acceleration in a turn, an abrupt upshift or downshift of

the transmission or driving on rough roads.

If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TAS begins

to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically

disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely

use it again, you may re-engage the cruise control. See

“Cruise Control” under Turn Signal/Multifunction

Lever on page 3-7. When the traction control off symbol

on the button is on, the TAS is off and will not limit

wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

The traction control off symbol on the button will come

on under the following conditions:

• The Traction Assist System is turned off, either by

pressing the TAS on/off button or by turning off

the automatic engagement feature of the TAS.

• The transmission is in FIRST (1) gear; TAS will not

operate in this gear. This is normal.

• The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road.

When the vehicle leaves the rough surface, slows

down or stops, the light will go off and TAS will

be on again. This is normal.

• A Traction Assist System, Anti-Lock Brake System

or engine-related problem has been detected and

the vehicle needs service.

The Traction Assist System, as delivered from the

factory, will automatically come 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 TAS off if you ever need to. You

should turn the TAS off if your vehicle ever gets stuck in

sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is required.

To turn the system on or off, press the TAS button

located near the shift lever. If you used the button to turn

the system off, the traction control off symbol on the

button will come on and stay on.

You can turn the system back on at any time by

pressing the button again. The traction control off symbol

on the button should go off.
