Chevrolet 2007 MALIBU Automobile User Manual


 
The Enhanced Traction System operates in all
transaxle shift lever positions. But the system can
upshift the transaxle only as high as the shift
lever position you’ve chosen, so you should use
the lower gears only when necessary.
When the system is on,
this warning light will
come on to let you know
there’s a problem.
When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave the Enhanced
Traction System on. But you can turn the system
off if you prefer.
To turn the system on
or off, press the traction
control button located
on the center console
under the climate
control system.
When you turn the system off, the Enhanced
Traction System warning light will come on and
stay on. If the Enhanced Traction System is
limiting wheel spin when you press the button to
turn the system off, the warning light will come
on but the system won’t turn off right away.
It will wait until there’s no longer a current need to
limit wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. The traction control
system warning light should go off.
