Engine Coolant Temperature Gage; Low Traction Light - Pontiac 2000 Firebird Owner's Manual

If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on for an extended period of time when the
system is turned on, your vehicle needs service.

Low Traction Light

If you have the traction control system, this light will
also come on when the system is limiting wheel spin.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this is
normal. Slippery road conditions may exist if the low
traction light comes on, so adjust your driving
accordingly. The light will stay on for a few seconds
after the traction control system stops limiting
wheel spin.
The low traction light also comes on briefly when you
turn the ignition key to RUN. If the light doesn't come
on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you when
-
the anti lock brake system or traction control system
is active.
-
When your anti lock system
is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid,
this light will come on.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gage

If you have been operating your vehicle under normal
driving conditions, you should pull off the road, stop
your vehicle and turn off the engine as soon as possible.
See "Engine Overheating" in the Index.
This gage shows the engine
coolant temperature. If the
gage pointer moves into the
red area, your engine is
approaching an
overheating condition.
