• The warning light will come on when you set
your parking brake with the engine running, and
it will stay on if your parking brake does not
release fully. If the transaxle shift lever is in any
position other than LOW (L) and the warning
light stays on after your parking brake is fully
released, it means there is a problem with
the system.
• If the traction control system is affected by an
engine related problem, the system will turn off
and the warning light will come on.
If the Enhanced Traction System warning light
comes on and stays on for an extended period
of time when the transaxle shift lever is in
any position other than LOW (L), your vehicle
needs service.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and
Modifications on page 268 for more information.
Steering
Electric Power Steering
If the engine stalls while you are driving, the
power steering assist system will continue
to operate until you are able to stop your vehicle.
If you lose power steering assist because the
electric power steering system is not functioning,
you can steer, but it will take more effort.
If you turn the steering wheel in either direction
several times until it stops, or hold the steering
wheel in the stopped position for an extended
amount of time, you may notice a reduced amount
of power steering assist. The normal amount of
power steering assist should return shortly after a
few normal steering movements.
The electric power steering system does not
require regular maintenance. If you suspect
steering system problems and/or the POWER
STEERING message comes on, contact
your dealer for service repairs. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 179.
