Traction Off Light - Chevrolet 2003 Avalanche Owner's Manual

Traction Off Light
If you have the Traction
Assist System or the
Stabilitrak@system, this
light should come on briefly
when you turn the
ignition to RUN.
e
e
If the light doesn't come on then, the system may
require service; have
it
fixed so it will be there to warn
you if the system is turned off.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you're driving,
there may be a problem with your Traction Assist
System and your vehicle may need service. When this
light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust
your driving accordingly.
The traction off light may come on for the following
reasons:
If you turn the system off by pressing the TAS
on/off button located to the left of the steering wheel,
the light will come on and stay on. To turn the
system back on, press the button again; the light
should go off.
e
If you move the shift lever to FIRST ( l ) , the light
will come on and stay on to indicate that the
traction system is off. This is normal operation. To
turn the system back on, move the shift lever
back to a position other than FIRST (1); the light
should go off. See Traction Assist System (TAS) on
page 4-9.
The light will come on and stay on if the TAS
automatic engagement feature has been turned off.
To turn the system on, press the TAS off/on
button; the light should go off. To turn the automatic
engagement feature back on, see Traction Assist
System (TAS) on page 4-9.
If the Traction Assist System is affected by an
anti-lock brake system, TAS or engine-related
problem, the system will turn off and the light will
come on. Have your vehicle serviced.
If the vehicle is driven over an extremely rough
road, the system will turn off and the light will come
on. The light will go off a few seconds after the
rough road conditions go away or when the vehicle
comes to a complete stop. This is normal
operation.

Stabilitrak@, see Sfabi/itrak@ System on page 4-1 1.
