The Enhanced Traction System operates in all transaxle

shift lever positions. But the system can upshift the

transaxle only as high as the shift lever position you’ve

chosen, so you should use the lower gears only when

necessary. See “Automatic Transaxle” in the Index.

When the system is on and

the parking brake is fully

released, this warning light

will come on to let you

know if there’s a problem.

See “Enhanced Traction System Warning Light” in the

Index. When this warning light is on, the system will

not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road

conditions, you should always leave the Enhanced

Traction System on. But you can turn the system off

if you prefer.

To turn the system on

or off, press the ETS

button located on the

center console.

When you turn the system off, the Enhanced Traction

System warning light will come on and stay on. If the

Enhanced Traction System is limiting wheel spin when

you press the button to turn the system off, the warning

light will come on and the indicator light will go

off

-- but the system won’t turn off right away. It

will wait until there’s no longer a current need to limit

wheel spin.

You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing

the button again. The Enhanced Traction System

warning light should go off.
