Buick 2000 manual Braking in Emergencies

See ªTraction Control System Warning Lightº in the Index. When this warning light is on, 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 ªRocking Your Vehicleº in the Index.)

To turn the system off, press the TRACTION OFF button located at the end of the shift lever on the right side of the steering wheel.

The traction control system warning light will come on and stay on. If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press the button, the warning light will come

on --but the system won't turn off right away.

It will wait until there's no longer a current need to limit wheel spin.

You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing the button again. The traction control system warning light should go off.

Braking in Emergencies

With anti-lock, you can steer and brake at the same time. In many emergencies, steering can help you more than even the very best braking.
