Cadillac 2006 XLR, Owner'S Manual

Page: 288 / 448

This warning light will
come on to let you know if
there is a problem with
your traction control
system.
See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on
page 3-56. When this warning light is on, 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 Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 5-32
and If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow
on page 5-32 for more information.
To turn the system off,
press the front part of the
traction control button
located on the center
console.
The TRACTION SYSTEM-OFF message will display on
the DIC and the traction control system warning light
will come on. If the system is limiting wheel spin when
you press the button, the TRACTION SYSTEM-OFF
message will display – but the system will not turn
off right away. It will wait until there is no longer
a current need to limit wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. The TRACTION SYSTEM-ON
message should display briefly on the Driver Information
Center.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your vehicle’s
performance. See Accessories and Modifications
on page 6-3 for more information.
