The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but
this is normal.
This warning light comes
on if there is a problem
with TCS.
See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light
on
page 4‑60
. 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 turned off on a vehicle with AWD, the
system may still be working. This is normal and
necessary with the hardware on the vehicle.
It may be necessary to turn the system off if the vehicle
gets stuck in sand, mud or snow and rocking the
vehicle is required. See Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It
Out
on page 5‑23
and If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand,
Mud, Ice, or Snow
on page 5‑22
for more information.
See Winter Driving
on page 5‑20
for information on
using TCS when driving in snowy or icy conditions.
To turn the system off,
press the TCS/StabiliTrak
button located near the
shift lever.
For AWD vehicles with the Active Steering with
Enhanced StabiliTrak option, the TCS/StabiliTrak button
is used to turn traction control on and off and to turn
StabiliTrak on and off. See Enhanced StabiliTrak
®
on
page 5‑7
for instructions on selecting the proper
stability control mode.
Press and release the TCS/StabiliTrak button and TCS
will turn off and the Traction Control System Warning
Light will come on. Press the button again to turn the
system back on.
Adding non‐GM accessories can affect the vehicle's
performance. See Accessories and Modifications
on
