Chevrolet 2004 Monte Carlo Owner's Manual page 221

To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave the Traction Control
System on. But you can turn the system off if you
ever need to.
You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets
stuck in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle
is required. See If You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or
Snow on page 4-30.
To turn the system on or
off, press the TRAC OFF
button on the console.
When you turn the system off, a chime will sound and
the Traction Control System 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 and the
system will turn off right away.
You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. The Traction Control System
warning light should go off.
