Driving and Operating 8-41
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. See If the Vehicle Is Stuck
on page 8‑11 for more information.
See Winter Driving on page 8‑10 for
information on using TCS when
driving in snowy or icy conditions.
The TCS/StabiliTrak button
is located on the instrument
panel (CTS) or the steering
wheel (CTS-V).
Press and release the
TCS/StabiliTrak button and
the traction control system will
turn off and TRACTION CONTROL
OFF will be displayed in the DIC.
Press the button again to turn the
system back on. For information
on turning StabiliTrak off and on,
see StabiliTrak System following.
Adding non‐dealer accessories can
affect your vehicle's performance.
See Accessories and Modifications
on page 9‑2 for more information.
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
system 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.
When the system activates,
this warning light flashes on the
instrument panel. A noise may be
heard or a vibration may be felt in
the brake pedal. This is normal.
Continue to steer the vehicle in
the intended direction.
