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.
To turn the system off, press and
release the TCS/StabiliTrak button
located on the console in front of the
shift lever.
Press and release the TCS/
StabiliTrak button and the traction
control system turns off and the
TCS warning light comes on. Press
and release the button again to turn
the system back on. For information
on turning StabiliTrak off and on,
see StabiliTrak System following.
StabiliTrak
®
System
The vehicle has an electronic
stability control system called
StabiliTrak. It is an advanced
computer controlled system that
assists with directional control of the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the
computer senses a discrepancy
between the intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any
one of the vehicle's brakes to help
steer the vehicle in the direction
which you are steering.
If cruise control is being used when
StabiliTrak activates, the cruise
control will automatically disengage.
Press the cruise control button to
reengage when road conditions
allow. See Cruise Control on
page 9‑43 for more information.
