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 321
for more information. See also Winter Driving
on page 316 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 in the
glove box.
If you press the TC 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 will
turn off. Press the TC button again to turn
StabiliTrak
®
back on. For more information,
see StabiliTrak
®
System on page 299.
You can program your steering wheel controls
and/or the buttons on the Base audio system to
turn the TCS on or off. See Reconfigurable
Steering Wheel Controls (SWC) (CTS) on
page 161 and/or “Configurable Radio Display
Keys” under Radio with CD on page 260 for
programming instructions.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and
