Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light

This light should come on briefly when you start the engine. If it stays on or comes on while you

are driving, there is a problem with your traction control system.

The traction control system warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is turned to ON. It will come on again when you press the TRAC OFF button to turn off the traction control system. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9for more information.

In the following cases, contact your dealer:

•The indicator light does not come on when the ignition is turned to ON.

•The indicator light remains on after the ignition is turned ON.

•The indicator light comes on with the normal driving mode while driving.

StabiliTrak® Indicator Light

This light warns that there is a problem somewhere in the traction control system or the vehicle stability control (VSC) system.

The light will come on when the ignition is turned to ON and will go off after a few seconds.

If the light comes on while driving, the system does not work. However, as conventional braking operates when applied, there is no problem to continue driving.

In the following cases, contact your GM dealer:

•The warning light does not come on after the ignition is turned to ON.

•The warning light remains on after the ignition is turned to ON.

•The warning light comes on while driving.

The traction control system light will come on when the VSC warning light comes on, even if the TRAC OFF button is not pressed.
