To turn the system off
or on, press the traction
control button located
near the exterior
lamp control.
When you turn the system off, a chime will sound
and a TRACTION CONTROL OFF message will
appear in the DIC. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 195 for more information. If the
Traction Control System is limiting wheel spin when
you press the button to turn the system off, the
traction control system warning light will come on
and the system will turn off right away.
You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. The Traction Control
System warning light should go off.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and
Modifications on page 296 for more information.

Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the
engine stops or the system is not functioning, you
can steer but it will take much more effort.
Steering Tips
It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents
mentioned on the news happen on curves.
Here is why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is
subject to the same laws of physics when driving on
curves. The traction of the tires against the road
surface makes it possible for the vehicle to change
its path when you turn the front wheels. If there is
no traction, inertia will keep the vehicle going in the
same direction. If you have ever tried to steer a
vehicle on wet ice, you will understand this.
