The traction control system automatically comes 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 traction
control 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.
Additionally, turning the traction control system off
on some surfaces, such as deep snow and loose gravel,
will assist vehicle motion at lower speeds. See Rocking
Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 4-32 and If Your
Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on
page 4-31 for more information. See also Winter Driving
on page 4-27 for information on using TCS when
driving in snowy or icy conditions.
You can turn the
system off by pressing the
TC (traction control)
button located on the
steering wheel.
If you press the TC button once, the traction
control system will turn off and the traction control
system warning light will come on. If you press the
TC button again within five seconds, the traction control
system will remain off, the warning light will stay on,
and the stability system will enter Competitive Driving
Mode. Competitive Driving will be displayed on the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See Competitive Driving
Mode (CTS-V) on page 4-12 and “Driver Information
Center (DIC)” in the Navigation Supplement for
more information. Press the TC button again to turn the
system back on. If you press and hold the TC button
for five seconds, the StabiliTrak
®
and Traction Control
systems will turn off. Press the TC button again to
turn StabiliTrak
®
and Traction Control back on. For more
information, see StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-12.
