See StabiliTrak /Traction Control System (TCS) Warning
Light on page 3-41 and StabiliTrak
When the TCS/StabiliTrak warning light is on, the system
will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
TCS 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
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. Also, turn TCS off while in deep snow or on
loose gravel, to assist vehicle motion at lower speeds.
See Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 4-20 for
more information. See also Winter Driving on page 4-17
for information on using TCS when driving in snowy
or icy conditions.
The TCS/StabiliTrak
warning light comes on if
there is a problem with
the traction control system.

previously.
