Traction Control System (Tcs) - Pontiac Torrent 2009 Owner's Manual

The system may be heard or felt while it is working.
This is normal. This light may also come on after
extended heavy braking, indicating the brakes have
become too hot to limit wheel spin.
To disable StabiliTrak, press and hold the traction
control button until the StabiliTrak/TCS warning light
comes on the instrument panel. StabiliTrak can be
activated again by pressing the StabiliTrak/TCS button.
The SERVICE STABILITRAK message will be displayed
and the StabiliTrak/TCS warning light on the instrument
panel cluster will come on if there is a problem with the
system. When this light and the SERVICE STABILITRAK
message are on, the system is not operational. Adjust
your driving accordingly.
StabiliTrak can be turned
off using the StabiliTrak/
TCS control button.

Traction Control System (TCS)

The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road
conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one
or more of the wheels are spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens, the system works the
brakes and reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
The system may be heard or felt while it is 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 flashes while the
traction control system is
limiting wheel spin.
