Oldsmobile 2000 Silhouette - Manual (Page 255)

4-10
If this message comes on
and stays on or comes on
while you are driving,
there’s a problem with your
traction control system.
See “Service Traction System Warning Message” in the
Index. When this warning message is on, the TRAC OFF
light will come on to remind you that the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But you can turn the
traction control system off if you ever need to.
(You should turn the system off if your vehicle ever
gets stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow. See “Rocking
Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
To turn the system off,
press the TCS button on the
center console switchbank.
If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press the
button, the message will go off, but the system will not
turn off until there is no longer a current need to limit
wheel spin. The TRAC OFF light will come on to
remind you the system is off. You can turn the system
back on at any time by pressing the button again. The
traction control system warning message should go off.
