If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage the cruise control. See Cruise Control on page 164. TCS operates in all transmission shift lever positions. But the system can upshift the transmission only as high as the shift lever position you have chosen, so you should use the lower gears only when necessary. See Automatic Transmission Operation on page 120 and/or Manual Transmission Operation on page 124 for more information. If there is a problem with TCS, TRACTION FAULT will be displayed on your Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 200 for more information. When this warning is displayed, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should always leave TCS on. But you can turn the 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. See Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 288 and If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 288 for more information. Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle's performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 323 for more information. Limited-Slip Rear Axle If your vehicle has this feature, your limited-slip rear axle can give you additional traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of the time, but when one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does, this feature will allow the wheel with traction to move the vehicle. 254
