Low Traction Light - Pontiac 2002 Firebird Owner's Manual

Traction Control System Warning
Light (Option)
If it stays on, or comes on when you're driving, there

is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
The traction control system warning light will come on
if you turn the system off by pressing the TCS button
located in front of the console, the warning light will
come on and stay on. To turn the system back on,
press the button again. The warning light should go off.
See "Traction Control System" in the Index for
more information.

This warning light should
come on briefly as you start
the engine. If the warning
light doesn't come on then,
have it fixed so it will be
ready to warn you if there's
a problem.

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.
