This warning light comes
on if there is a problem
with the traction control
system.
See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on
page 3-37. When this warning light is on, the system will
not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
TCS automatically comes on whenever the vehicle
is started. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery
road conditions, the system should always be left on.
But, TCS can be turned off if needed.
Notice: Do not repeatedly brake or accelerate
heavily when TCS is off. The vehicle’s driveline
could be damaged.
When TCS is switched off on AWD vehicles, the system
may still make noise. This is normal and necessary
with the AWD hardware on the vehicle.
It may be necessary to turn the system off if the 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 4-30 and If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand,
Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 4-29 for more information.
See also Winter Driving on page 4-27 for information on
using TCS when driving in snowy or icy conditions.
To turn the system off,
press the TCS/StabiliTrak
®
button located on the
console under the climate
controls.
Press and release the TCS/StabiliTrak button and the
traction control system will turn off and the traction
control system warning light will come on. Press
the button again to turn the system back on.
For information on turning StabiliTrak off and on,
see StabiliTrak System previously.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect the vehicle’s
performance. See Accessories and Modifications
on page 5-3 for more information.
