See StabiliTrak /Traction Control System (TCS) Warning
Light on page 3-48. When this warning light is on, the
system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever the vehicle is started. To limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, the system should
always be left on but can be turned off if needed. It may
be necessary to turn the system off if the vehicle is stuck
in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is required.
See Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 5-20 and
If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on
page 5-20 for more information.
This warning light comes
on if there is a problem
with the traction control
system.
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 the
button is pressed, 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.
The system can be turned 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 3-60
for more information.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect the vehicle's
performance. See Accessories and Modifications
on page 6-3 for more information.
To turn the system off,
press the traction control
button located on the
center console.
