See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light
on page 206. When this warning light is on, the
system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
The TCS 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.
Notice: Do not repeatedly brake or accelerate
heavily when the TCS is off. You could
damage your vehicle’s driveline.
When the TCS is switched off on AWD vehicles,
you may still feel the system working. This is
normal and necessary with the AWD hardware on
your vehicle.
You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever
gets stuck in sand, mud or snow and rocking
the vehicle is required. See Rocking Your Vehicle
to Get It Out on page 322 and If Your Vehicle
is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 321
for more information. See also Winter Driving
on page 317 for information on using TCS when
driving in snowy or icy conditions.
To turn the system off,
press the TC (traction
control) button
located on the console
under the climate
controls.
If you press the TC (traction control) button once,
the traction control system will turn off and the
traction control system warning light will come on.
Press the TC button again to turn the system
back on. If you press and hold the TC button for
five seconds, the StabiliTrak
®
system and the
traction control system will turn off. Press the TC
(traction control) button again to turn StabiliTrak
®
back on. For more information, see StabiliTrak
®
System on page 283.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and
