Magnetic Ride Control; Limited-Slip Rear Axle - Cadillac 2008 XLR Owner's Manual

The TRACTION SYSTEM OFF message will display on
the DIC and the traction control system warning light
will come on. If the system is limiting wheel spin when
you press the button, the TRACTION SYSTEM OFF
message will display – but the system will not turn
off right away. It will wait until there is 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 SYSTEM
ON message should display briefly on the Driver
Information Center. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-63 for more information.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle's
performance. See Accessories and Modifications
on page 6-3 for more information.
To turn the system off,
press the front part of the
traction control button
located on the center
console.

Magnetic Ride Control

Magnetic Ride Control automatically adjusts the ride
of your vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved
through a computer used to control and monitor the
suspension system. The controller receives input from
various sensors to determine the proper system
response. If the controller detects a problem within the
system, the DIC will display a SERVICE RIDE
CONTROL message. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-63 for more information. See your dealer
for service.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle

Your limited-slip rear axle can give you additional
traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like
a standard axle most of the time, but when one of
the rear wheels has no traction and the other does,
this feature will allow the wheel with traction to move
the vehicle.
