/Traction Control
System (TCS) Warning Light
The StabiliTrak and
Traction Control System
(TCS) indicator/warning
light comes on briefly while
starting the engine.
If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your dealer/
retailer. If the system is working normally the indicator
light then goes off.
The light flashes while the StabiliTrak system and TCS
are working to assist the driver with directional control of
the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
If the StabiliTrak system and TCS light comes on and
stays on while driving and a TRACTION FAULT or
SERVICE STAB SYS message displays on the DIC, the
vehicle needs service.
The light also comes on steady when the StabiliTrak
system and/or TCS are turned off. The DIC also displays
a TRAC OFF and/or STAB SYS OFF message. If the
TCS is off, wheel spin is not limited. If the StabiliTrak
system is off, the system does not assist the driver with
directional control of the vehicle. The light turns off when
the TCS and StabiliTrak system are turned back on.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage shows the
engine coolant
temperature.
If the gage pointer is near the top of the gage, the
engine is too hot. It means that the engine coolant has
overheated. If the vehicle has been operating under
normal driving conditions, pull the vehicle off the road,
stop the vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as
possible.
See Engine Overheating on page 5-32 for more
information.
