The Traction Control System (TCS) and StabiliTrak can be turned off if needed by pressing and holding the StabiliTrak/TCS button. Press the button again to turn StabiliTrak and Traction Control back on. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-7 for more information. If cruise control is being used when the system activates, the StabiliTrak light will flash and cruise control will automatically disengage. Cruise control may be reengaged when road conditions allow. See Cruise Control on page 3-10. This light, located on the instrument panel, will come on when the TCS is limiting wheel spin. The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but this is normal. If the vehicle is in cruise control when TCS begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. The cruise control may be re-engaged when road conditions allow. See Cruise Control on page 3-10. TCS operates in all transmission shift lever positions except park or neutral. But the system can upshift the transmission only as high as the shift lever position that is chosen, so use the lower gears only when necessary. See Automatic Transmission Operation on page 2-26. Traction Control System (TCS) The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system reduces engine power and may also upshift the transmission to limit wheel spin. Also, the traction control system activates the appropriate corner brakes to gain even quicker control to limit wheel spin. 4-7
