Full-Function Traction Control
(if equipped)
Grand Prix models with the super-
charged V6 engine and the V8 engine
have a traction control system that limits
wheelspin when it senses that one or
both front wheels are spinning or begin-
ning to lose traction. The system con-
trols wheelspin by applying the front
brakes and reducing engine power.
The system can be disabled by pressing
the "TC" button located on the console
if you become stuck in the sand, mud
or snow and rocking the vehicle is
necessary.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Enhanced Traction System (ETS)
(if equipped)
Grand Prix models equipped with the
3800 V6 engine may have an Enhanced
Traction System (ETS) that works to
limit wheelspin.
When the system senses that one or
both front wheels are spinning or begin-
ning to lose traction, it reduces engine
power and may also upshift the
transaxle to further reduce spin.
The ETS can be disabled by pressing
the TC button located on the console
if you become stuck in sand, mud
or snow and rocking the vehicle is
necessary.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Fuel
Regular unleaded fuel is recommended
for non-supercharged Grand Prix models.
Premium unleaded fuel is recommended
for supercharged V6 models and V8
models, but is not required. Note that
using regular unleaded fuel in a super-
charged V6- or V8-equipped model will
reduce engine power output, but will not
harm the engine.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Securing the Fuel Tank Cap
After fueling, ensure that the fuel tank
cap is installed correctly and tightly.
Tighten the cap clockwise until at least
three clicks are heard. If the cap is loose
or missing, the malfunction indicator
lamp will light steadily. If a loose gas cap
is the cause, a few driving trips after
retightening should cause the light to go
out. If the light remains on, have the
vehicle serviced.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
