9-38 Driving and Operating TCS automatically comes on whenever the vehicle is started. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, the system should always be left on, but it may be necessary to turn the system off if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, or snow and rocking the vehicle is required. Also, turn TCS off while in deep snow or on loose gravel, to assist vehicle motion at lower speeds. See If the Vehicle is Stuck on page 9‑12 for more information. See also Winter Driving on page 9‑10 for information on using TCS when driving in snowy or icy conditions. Ride Control Systems Traction Control System (TCS) The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) that limits wheel spin. The system utilizes engine and braking controls to control wheel spin during acceleration at all driving speeds for maximum driver control regardless of conditions. When the system senses impending wheel slip during acceleration, it signals the throttle control to reduce drive wheel torque. Under extreme situations, such as going from pavement to ice during acceleration, the system will selectively apply the brakes to maintain control. The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but this is normal. The TCS/StabiliTrak warning light flashes when the traction control system is limiting wheel spin. The TCS/StabiliTrak warning light comes on solid if there is a problem with the traction control system. See Traction Control System (TCS)/ StabiliTrak® Light on page 5‑22 for more information. If the light stays on, see your dealer for service. When the TCS/StabiliTrak warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
