Chevrolet 1997 Automobile User Manual


 
The
ASR
system warning light may come on for the
following reasons:
If
you
turn the system off by pressing the switch
located on the instrument panel, the warning light
will come on and stay on and the light
on
the switch
will go
out.
To turn the system back
on,
press the
button again. The warning light should go off. (See
“ASR
System” in the Index for more information.)
If
the temperature
of
the throttle control begins to rise,
the system will turn off and the warning light will
come
on
until the system cools down. The system
does this to prevent damage from overheating.
If the
ASR
system warning light comes
on
and stays
on
for an extended period of time when the system is
turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Low
Traction
Light
When your anti-lock system
is adjusting brake pressure
to
help avoid a braking skid,
this light will come on.
LOW
TRAC
If you have the
ASR
system, this light will also come on
when the system is limiting wheel spin. Slippery road
conditions may exist if the low traction light comes on,
so
adjust your driving accordingly. The light will stay on
for a few seconds after the anti-lock system stops
adjusting brake pressure or the
ASR
system stops
limiting wheel spin.
The
low traction light also comes on briefly when you
turn the ignition key to
RUN.
If the light doesn’t come
on
then, have it fixed
so
it will be there
to
tell you when
the anti-lock brake system or
ASR
system is active.
