Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light This light should come on briefly as you start the engine. If the light stays on or comes on while you are driving, a chime sounds and a SERVICE STABILITRAK message appears on the DIC, there is a problem with your StabiliTrak® and the vehicle needs service. You can acknowledge this message by pressing the RESET button. When the SERVICE STABILITRAK message is displayed, the StabiliTrak® system will not assist you in controlling the vehicle. You should have the system serviced as soon as possible. Adjust your driving accordingly. When the system is working, you will see the STABILITRAK ACTIVE message displayed in the DIC. You may also feel of hear the system working. This is normal. If you turn off the StabiliTrak® system, by pressing the front part of the button on the console for five seconds, the TCS light will come on, a chime will sound and the TRAC/STABILITRAK OFF message will be displayed in the DIC. The TCS will also be turned off. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-63 for more information. If the StabiliTrak® system and TCS are turned off, pressing the console button momentarily will turn both systems on. The DIC will display the TRAC/STABILITRAK ON message, the instrument cluster light will be off and a chime will sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-63 for more information. If the light does not come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to warn you if there is a problem. The light will also come on while the StabiliTrak® system warms up and the STABILITRAK WARMING message will be displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC). If it stays on, or comes on and the DIC shows a SERVICE TRACTION SYS message when you are driving, there is a problem with your Traction Control System (TCS) and your vehicle needs service. When this light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. If the driver turns off TCS by pressing the button on the console, the TCS light will come on and the TRACTION SYSTEM OFF message will show on the DIC. 3-52
