Cadillac 2007 XLR ROADSTER, Owner'S Manual

Page: 330 / 512

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 194 . 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 354 and If Your
Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on
page 353
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. See
DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 206 for more information.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. See
Accessories and
Modifications on page 363 for more information.
