Enhanced Traction System (Ets) - Pontiac 2007 G6 Owner's Manual

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 prefer.
To turn the system on or off, press the traction
control button (TC) located under the climate
controls. In order to effectively "rock" the vehicle,
you will need to turn off TCS.
If you press the TC button once, the traction control
system will turn off and the traction control system
warning light will come on. The StabiliTrak
will stay on. Press the TC button again to turn the
system back on. The traction control system
warning light will go off. If you press and hold the
TC button, the StabiliTrak
control system will turn off. Press the TC button
again to turn StabiliTrak
system back on. For more information, see
®
StabiliTrak System on page 265.
When you turn the system off, 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 – but the system
won't turn off right away. It will wait until there's
no longer a current need to limit wheel spin.

Enhanced Traction System (ETS)

Your vehicle may have an Enhanced Traction
System (ETS) that limits wheel spin. This is
especially useful in slippery road conditions. The
system operates only if it senses that one or
both of the front wheels are spinning or beginning
to lose traction. When this happens, the system
reduces engine power and may also upshift
the transaxle to limit wheel spin.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
This light, located on
the instrument panel,
will come on when your
Enhanced Traction
System is limiting
wheel spin.
