The TCS operates in all transmission shift lever positions except PARK (P), NEUTRAL (N) or REVERSE (R). But the system can upshift the transmission only as high as the shift lever position you've chosen, so you should use the lower gears only when necessary. See Automatic Transaxle Operation on page 122. This light is located on the instrument panel cluster. If you press the TC button once, the TCS will turn off, the TRACTION OFF message will display and the TCS warning light will come on. The StabiliTrak® system will stay on. Press the TC button again to turn the system back on. The TCS warning light will go off. If you press and hold the TC button, the StabiliTrak® system and the traction control system will turn off. Press the TC button again to turn StabiliTrak® and the traction control system back on. For more information, see Electronic Stability Control on page 256. When you turn the system off, the TCS warning light will come on and stay on. If the Traction Control System is limiting wheel spin when you press the button to turn the system off, the warning light will come on - but the system won't turn off right away. It will wait until there's no longer a current need to limit wheel spin. Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect your vehicle's performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 297 for more information. When the system is on, this warning light will come on to let you know if there's a problem, or if the system has been turned off. When this light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should always leave the TCS on. But you can turn the system off if you prefer. To turn the system on or off, press the traction control button (TC) located on the center console. In order to effectively "rock" the vehicle, you will need to turn off TCS. 254

The TCS operates in all transmission shift lever
positions except PARK (P), NEUTRAL (N) or
REVERSE (R). But the system can upshift
the transmission only as high as the shift lever

When the system is on, this warning light will
come on to let you know if there’s a problem, or if
