The TCS operates in all transmission shift lever
positions except PARK (P), NEUTRAL (N) or
REVERSE (R). But the system can upshift
the transmission only as high as the shift lever
position you’ve chosen, so you should use
the lower gears only when necessary. See
Automatic Transaxle Operation on page 122.
This light is located on
the instrument panel
cluster.
When the system is on, this warning light will
come on to let you know if there’s a problem, or if
the system has been turned off. When this 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 TCS on.
But you can turn the system off if you prefer.
To turn the system on or off, press the traction
control button (TC) located on the center console.
In order to effectively “rock” the vehicle, you
will need to turn off TCS.
If you press the TC button once, the TCS will turn
off, the TRACTION OFF message will display
and the TCS warning light will come on. The
StabiliTrak
®
system will stay on. Press the
TC button again to turn the system back on.
The TCS warning light will go off. If you press and
hold the TC button, the StabiliTrak
®
system and
the traction control system will turn off. Press
the TC button again to turn StabiliTrak
®
and the
traction control system back on. For more
information, see Electronic Stability Control on
page 256.
When you turn the system off, the TCS warning
light will come on and stay on. If the Traction
Control 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.
Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories
can affect your vehicle’s performance.
See Accessories and Modifications on
page 297 for more information.
