If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
reengage the cruise control. See Cruise Control
on page 3-10.

If this message comes on and stays on or comes on
while you are driving, there’s a problem with your
traction control system.

See Service Traction System Warning Message on
page 3-51
. When this warning message is on, the TRAC
OFF light will come on to remind you that the system
will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

The traction control 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
traction control system off if you ever need to. You
should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck
in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is
required. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud,
Ice or Snow
on page 4-30.

To turn the system off, press the TRAC OFF button
located on the instrument panel switchbank.

If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press the
button, the message will go off, but the system will
not turn off until there is no longer a current need to limit
wheel spin. The TRAC OFF light will come on to
remind you the system is off. You can turn the system
back on at any time by pressing the button again.
The traction control system warning message should
go off.

Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle’s
performance. See Accessories and Modifications
on page 5-3 for more information.
