Chevrolet 2003 Corvette User Manual

Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a traction control system called TCS
that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery
road conditions. The system operates only
if it senses
that the rear wheels are spinning too much or are
beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system works the rear brakes and reduces engine power
(by closing the throttle and managing engine spark) to
limit wheel spin.
The TRACTION SYS ACTIVE message will come on
when the TCS system is limiting wheel spin. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53. You may
feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS system
begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions allow
you
to safely use it again, you may re-engage the cruise
control. See Turn SignaVMultifunction Lever

The SERVICE TRACTION
SYSTEM message and
the TCS warning light will
come on to let you
know
if there's a problem
with your TCS system.
See
DIC Warnings
and Messages
on
page 3-51.
When this light and the SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM
message are
on, the system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
The TCS 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 TCS system
off if
vou ever need to.
