For 1990-2009 cars

Your vehicle may have a traction control system called TCS that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that the rear wheels are spinning too much or are beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system works the rear brakes and reduces engine power (by closing the throttle and managing engine spark) to limit wheel spin.

This light will flash when your traction control system is limiting wheel spin. You may feel or hear the system working, but this is normal.

See Electronic Stability Control (ESC)/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator/Warning Light for more information.

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 re-engage the cruise control. See Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever .

When the system is on, this warning light will come on and stay on to let you know if there is a problem.

When this light is on solid and either the SERVICE TRACTION or TRACTION OFF message is displayed, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. See DIC Warnings and Messages .

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. You can turn the traction control system off if you ever need to.

To turn the system off, press and release this button located on the console.

Press the traction control system button again to turn the system back on. The DIC will display the appropriate message when you press the button.

Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can affect your vehicle's performance. See Accessories and Modifications for more information.
