Antilock Brake System (Abs) Warning Light; Traction Control System (Tcs) Warning Light - Pontiac Torrent 2009 Owner's Manual

Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light
If it does not, have the vehicle serviced by your
dealer/retailer. If the system is working normally the
indicator light then goes off.
If the ABS light stays on, turn the ignition off. If the light
comes on while 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 stays on,
or comes on again while driving, the vehicle needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light is not
on, the vehicle still has brakes, but not antilock
brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also
on, the vehicle does not have antilock brakes and
there is a problem with the regular brakes. See Brake
System Warning Light on page 3-30.
For vehicles with a Driver Information Center (DIC), see
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-50 for all brake
related DIC messages.

For vehicles with the
Antilock Brake System
(ABS), this light comes on
briefly when the engine
is started.
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 4-7 and StabiliTrak
for more information.
Your vehicle has a
Traction Control System
®
(TCS) and StabiliTrak
warning light.
