This warning light will come on to let you know if there is a problem with your traction control system. To turn the system off, press the front part of the traction control button located on the center console. See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on page 3-56. When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. The traction control system automatically comes on whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should always leave the system on. But you can turn the traction control system off if you ever need to. You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is required. See Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 5-32 and If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 5-32 for more information. The TRACTION SYSTEM-OFF message will display on the DIC and the traction control system warning light will come on. If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press the button, the TRACTION SYSTEM-OFF message will display - but the system will not turn off right away. It will wait until there is no longer a current need to limit wheel spin. You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing the button again. The TRACTION SYSTEM-ON message should display briefly on the Driver Information Center. Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle's performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 6-3 for more information. 5-10
