You may feel or hear the system working, but this is normal. Leave the system on during ordinary driving so that it can operate when needed. When the ignition

is turned to ON, the system automatically turns on.

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 TRAC OFF button is located to the left of the steering wheel below the instrument panel cluster.

When getting the vehicle out of mud or newly fallen snow, turn off the traction control system. The system that controls engine performance interferes with the process of freeing the front wheels. To turn off traction control, press the TRAC OFF button. The traction control system warning light will come on. The vehicle stability control system (StabiliTrak®) is always activated, even when the traction control system is turned off.

To turn the traction control system back on, press the TRAC OFF button again. The traction control system warning light will go off. See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on page 3-34for more information.

Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and Modifications

on page 5-3for more information.

StabiliTrak® System

Your vehicle may have this feature. The StabiliTrak® system helps provide integrated control of the systems such as anti-lock brake system, traction control and engine control. This system automatically controls the brakes and engine to help prevent the vehicle from skidding when cornering on a slippery road surface or turning the steering wheel abruptly.
