Low Traction Active Light - Pontiac 2005 Bonneville Owner's Manual

Low Traction Active Light

United States and V6 in
Canada
Your Low Traction Active light may come on for one of
the following reasons:
•
An advanced computer-controlled system called
®
Stabilitrak , if equipped, has come on to help
your vehicle continue to go in the direction in which
you are steering. This stability enhancement
system activates when the computer senses that
your vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you
3-44
Canada (V8 Only)
hit a patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road.
When the system is on, you may hear a noise or
feel a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal.
In these situations when the LOW TRAC light
is on and the system is engaged, you should
continue to steer in the direction you want to go.
The system is designed to help you in bad weather
or other difficult driving situations by making the
most of whatever road conditions will permit.
•
The optional Traction Control System is active and
is limiting wheel spin. You may feel the system
working, but this is normal. Slippery road conditions
may exist, so adjust your driving accordingly.
If the LOW TRAC light comes on, slippery road
conditions may exist, so you should consider slowing
down and adjusting your driving accordingly.
