When road conditions allow you to safely use it
again, you may re-engage the cruise control.
See Cruise Control on page 163.

TCS operates in all transmission shift lever
positions. But the system can upshift the
transmission only as high as the shift lever position
you have chosen, so you should use the lower
gears only when necessary. See Automatic
Transmission Operation
on page 120 and/or
Manual Transmission Operation on page 124 for
more information.

If there is a problem with TCS, TRACTION FAULT
will be displayed on your Driver Information
Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 198 for more information.

When this warning is displayed, the system will
not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly.

To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave TCS on.
But you can turn the 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 Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on
page 284
and If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand,
Mud, Ice, or Snow
on page 284 for more
information.

Adding non-GM accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and
Modifications
on page 316 for more information.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle

If your vehicle has this feature, your limited-slip
rear axle can give you additional traction on snow,
mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard
axle most of the time, but when one of the
rear wheels has no traction and the other does,
this feature will allow the wheel with traction
to move the vehicle.

Steering

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.
