Traction Control System (TCS)
(CTS-V)
Your vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery
road conditions. The system operates only if it senses
that one or both of the rear wheels are spinning or
beginning to lose traction. When this happens,
the system brakes the spinning wheel(s) and/or
reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
This warning light will
come on to let you know
if there’s a problem
with your traction
control system.
See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on
page 3-39 . When this warning light is on, the system will
not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
