Pontiac 2004 Bonneville - Manual (Page 166)

Low Traction Active Light
Your LOW TRAC (Low
Traction Active) light may
come on for one of the
following reasons:
• An advanced computer-controlled system called
Stabilitrak
® (if equipped) has come on to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you’re
steering. This stability enhancement system
activates when the computer senses that your
vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a
patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road. When
the system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a
vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal.
In these situations when the LOW TRAC light is on
and the system is engaged, you should continue to
steer in the direction you want to go. The system is
designed to help you in bad weather or other difficult
driving situations by making the most of whatever
road conditions will permit.
• The optional Traction Control System is active and is
limiting wheel spin. You may feel the system working,
but this is normal. Slippery road conditions may exist,
so adjust your driving accordingly.
If the LOW TRAC light comes on, slippery road
conditions may exist, so you should consider slowing
down and adjusting your driving accordingly.
