Traction Assist System
(if equipped)
The Traction Assist System (TAS) limits
wheelspin and operates only if it senses
that one or both rear wheels are begin-
ning to lose traction. When this hap-
pens, engine power is reduced to limit
wheelspin. You may hear or feel the sys-
tem working. The system is automatical-
ly enabled whenever the engine is
started.
Turn the system OFF or ON
• Press the TAS ON/OFF button locat-
ed near the shift lever.
• With the system off, the TRAC
ON/OFF button indicator light comes
on until TAS is turned back on or the
vehicle is turned off and restarted.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
