For 1990-2009 cars only
If you have the Traction Assist System or the Stabilitrak system, this light should come on briefly when you turn the ignition to RUN.
If the light doesn't come on then, the system may require service; have it fixed so it will be there to warn you if the system is turned off.
If the light stays on, or comes on when you're driving, there may be a problem with your Traction Assist System and your vehicle may need service. When this light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction off light may come on for the following reasons:
| • | If you turn the system off by pressing the TAS on/off button located to the left of the steering wheel, the light will come on and stay on. To turn the system back on, press the button again; the light should go off. |
| • | If you move the shift lever to FIRST (1), the light will come on and stay on to indicate that the traction system is off. This is normal operation. To turn the system back on, move the shift lever back to a position other than FIRST (1); the light should go off. See Traction Assist System (TAS) . |
| • | The light will come on and stay on if the TAS automatic engagement feature has been turned off. To turn the system on, press the TAS off/on button; the light should go off. To turn the automatic engagement feature back on, see Traction Assist System (TAS) . |
| • | If the Traction Assist System is affected by an anti-lock brake system, TAS or engine-related problem, the system will turn off and the light will come on. Have your vehicle serviced. |
| • | If the vehicle is driven over an extremely rough road, the system will turn off and the light will come on. The light will go off a few seconds after the rough road conditions go away or when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. This is normal operation. |
