If the the light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there a problem. is Traction Control System Warning Light (Option) 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. If the light stays on and the chime sounds, turn the ignition to OFF.
