Up-Shift Light

The vehicle may have an up-shift
light. It indicates when to shift to the
next higher gear for best fuel
economy.
See Manual Transmission on
page 9 30 for more information.
For the CTS-V, the tracer lights
function as a performance up-shift
light.
The tracers flash to indicate
when to shift to the next higher gear
to avoid the engine speed limit.
See Automatic Transmission on
page 9 26 or Manual Transmission
on page 9 30 for more information.

Traction Control System

(TCS)/StabiliTrak
The Traction Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak warning light should
come on briefly when the engine is
started.
If it does not, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer. If the
system is working normally, the
indicator light then goes off.
If the light comes on or stays on
while driving, there may be a
problem with the TCS/StabiliTrak
and the vehicle may need service.
When this warning light is on, the
system does not limit wheel spin.
Adjust driving accordingly.
