Acura 2001 TL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 183)

You should still install winter tires on
your car during the winter. Make
sure to use the same size originally
supplied with vehicle. Exercise the
same caution in winter driving as you
would if your car was not equipped
with TCS.
Driving with the compact spare tire
installed (see page
) may
activate the TCS. You should turn off
the system.
If the brakes overheat while the TCS
is activating, the TCS indicator will
stop flashing and stay on temporarily.
This indicates that the TCS system
has turned off. After the brakes have
cooled down (usually for about 10
minutes), the TCS will turn back on
and the indicator will turn off.
This switch is under the side vent. It
lets you turn the Traction Control
System on and off. You cannot turn
off the TCS while the TCS indicator
light is flashing.
Deactivate the system by pressing
the TCS On/Off switch. The TCS
indicator light comes on as a
reminder. Pressing the switch again
turns the system back on.
The Traction Control System turns
on every time you start the engine,
even if you turned it off the last time
you drove the vehicle.
