2005 Cadillac CTS Owner's Manual - Page 243

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. Additionally, turning the traction control system off on some surfaces, such as deep snow and loose gravel, will assist vehicle motion at lower speeds. See Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 4-33 for more information. See also Winter Driving on page 4-28 for information on using TCS when driving in snowy or icy conditions. You can turn the system off by pressing the TC (traction control) button located in the glove box. If you press the TC button once, the traction control system will turn off and the traction control system warning light will come on. Press the TC button again to turn the system back on. If you press and hold the TC button for five seconds, the Stabilitrak® system will turn off. Press the TC button again to turn Stabilitrak® back on. For more information, see Stabilitrak® System on page 4-11. You can program your steering wheel controls (CTS only) and/or the buttons on the Base audio system to turn the TCS on or off. See Reconfigurable Steering Wheel Controls (SWC) (CTS) on page 3-7 and/or "Configurable Radio Display Keys" under Radio with CD on page 3-89 for programming instructions. 4-9
