Cadillac CTC 2005, Owner'S Manual

Page: 243 / 436

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. Additionally, turning the traction control system
off on some surfaces, such as deep snow and loose
gravel, will assist vehicle motion at lower speeds. See
Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 4-33 for
more information. See also
Winter Driving on page 4-28
for information on using TCS when driving in snowy
or icy conditions.
You can turn the system
off by pressing the TC
(traction control) button
located in the glove box.
If you press the TC button once, the traction control
system will turn off and the traction control system
warning light will come on. Press the TC button again to
turn the system back on. If you press and hold the
TC button for five seconds, the Stabilitrak
®
system will
turn off. Press the TC button again to turn Stabilitrak
®
back on. For more information, see Stabilitrak
®
System
on page 4-11.
You can program your steering wheel controls (CTS
only) and/or the buttons on the Base audio system
to turn the TCS on or off. See
Reconfigurable Steering
Wheel Controls (SWC) (CTS) on page 3-7 and/or
“Configurable Radio Display Keys” under

CD on page 3-89 for programming instructions.
