Saab 2007 9-3 - Manual (Page 174)

174 Starting and driving
TCS indicator
When the remote control is turned to the ON
position, the lamp is lit for about 4 seconds
while the system performs self-diagnosis.
The light comes on when the TCS is
operative, that is when one of the wheels
has lost its grip.
The fact that the TCS is operative indicates
that the limit for grip has been exceeded and
that the driver must exercise greater care.
Turning the TCS off
The TCS is switched on automatically when
the engine is started.
You can switch the system off manually with
the TCS button , whereupon the
light will come on. The TCS cannot be
switched off if the car is travelling faster than
35 mph (60 km/h).
It may be necessary to switch off the system
if the car has become bogged down, for
instance. Press TCS to switch it on again.
If a fault is detected in the ABS, the TCS will
be switched off automatically.
The following message is shown on the SID:
The cruise control system (if active) will
automatically be disengaged if the TCS is
operative.
Traction control failure.
Contact service.
