The Active Handling System light comes on briefly as the engine is started. If the light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn if there is a problem. This light also comes on when the ACTIVE HANDLING CALIBRATING message is displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC).

If the light stays on or comes on while driving, a chime sounds and a SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM message appears on the DIC, there is a problem with the Active Handling System and the vehicle needs service.

The driver can acknowledge this message by pressing the RESET button. When the SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM message is displayed in the DIC, the Active Handling System does not assist in controlling the vehicle. The system should be serviced as soon as possible.

When the system is working, a ACTIVE HANDLING message displays in the DIC.

If the driver turns off the Active Handling System by pressing the button on the console for five seconds, the Active Handling System light comes on, a chime sounds, and the TRACTION SYSTEM AND ACTIVE HANDLING - OFF message displays in the DIC. The Traction Control System also turns off. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.

If the Active Handling System and the Traction Control System are off, pressing the console button momentarily turns both systems on. The DIC displays the TRACTION SYSTEM AND ACTIVE HANDLING - ON message, the instrument cluster light is off, and a chime sounds. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.
