Antilock Brake System Warning Light; Traction Control System (Tcs); Warning Light - Pontiac 2008 Torrent Owner's Manual

Antilock Brake System Warning
Light
That is normal. If the light does not come on then, have
it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off, if the light
comes on when you are driving, stop as soon as it is
safely possible and turn the ignition off. Then start the
engine again to reset the system. If the ABS light still
stays on, or comes on again while you are driving, your
vehicle needs service. If the regular brake system
warning light is not on, you still have brakes, but you do
not have antilock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is also on, you do not have antilock brakes
and there is a problem with your regular brakes.

For vehicles with

will come on briefly
when you start the engine.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Warning Light

When the traction control is activated the light will
flash when the TCS is limiting wheel spin or when the
®
StabiliTrak system is active. You may feel or hear
the system working, but this is normal. This light may
also come on after extended heavy braking indicating
the brakes have become too hot to limit wheel spin.
This light will come on and stay on if the TCS is turned
off using the traction control on/off button, located
next to the gear shift lever.
If the TCS warning light comes on and stays on for an
extended period of time when the system is turned
on, your vehicle needs service. See Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 4-6 and StabiliTrak
page 4-7 for more information.
Your vehicle has a
Traction Control
System (TCS) and
®
StabiliTrak warning light.
