Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light Your vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) and StabiliTrak® warning light. Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light The engine coolant temperature warning light will come on when the engine has overheated. When the traction control is activated the light will flash when the TCS is limiting wheel spin or when the StabiliTrak® system is active. You may feel or hear the system working, but this is normal. This light may also come on after extended heavy braking indicating the brakes have become too hot to limit wheel spin. This light will come on and stay on if the TCS is turned off using the traction control on/off button, located next to the gear shift lever. If the TCS warning light comes on and stays on for an extended period of time when the system is turned on, your vehicle needs service. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-7 and StabiliTrak® System on page 4-6 for more information. If this happens you should pull over and turn off the engine as soon as possible. See Engine Overheating on page 5-28 for more information. Notice: Driving with the engine coolant temperature warning light on could cause the vehicle to overheat. See Engine Overheating on page 5-28. The vehicle's engine could be damaged, and it might not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Never drive with the engine coolant temperature warning light on. 3-32
