Traction Assist System (TAS)

(if equipped; 2WD models only)
TAS operates only when it senses that
one or both rear wheels are beginning to
lose traction. When this happens,
engine power is reduced to limit wheel-
spin. You may also hear or feel the
system working.
TAS is automatically enabled whenever
you start the vehicle.
Disable TAS
• Press the TAS ON/OFF button
located near the shift lever or on the
instrument panel. When disabled, the
TRACTION OFF light comes on.
Enable TAS after having turned it off
• Press the TAS ON/OFF button again
and the TRACTION OFF light will go
out.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Luggage Carrier (if equipped)
Note: Never carry anything on the
vehicle roof that is longer or wider than
the luggage carrier itself. (Examples:
plywood, paneling, a mattress.) The
load could be violently torn off, causing
you or other drivers to have a collision.
Note: Loading cargo that weighs more
than 220 pounds (100 kg) on the lug-
gage carrier may damage your vehicle.
Your vehicle's luggage carrier has side
rails attached to the roof and allows you
to carry a load on top of your vehicle.
Some TrailBlazers are equipped with
optional sliding crossrails and tie-down
spots to secure cargo.
Adjust crossrails
• Lift the lever on each side of the
crossrail and slide it into position.
• Secure the crossrail by pressing the
levers on each side of the crossrail
down into place.
Reduce wind noise when the luggage
carrier is not in use
Position the rear crossrail at the rear-
most position and the front crossrail
above the rearmost portion of the rear
door opening (above the "C" pillar).
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
