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.
SeeRocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on
page 321for more information. See alsoWinter
Driving on page 316for 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 ve seconds,
the StabiliTrak
®system will turn off. Press the
TC button again to turn StabiliTrak®back on.

The high-performance tires, size P225/55R16,
P225/50R17 or P225/50R18 require ination
pressure adjustment when driving your vehicle at
speeds of 100 mph (160 km/h) or higher. Set
the cold tire ination pressure to the maximum
ination pressure shown on the tire sidewall,
or 38 psi (262 kPa), whichever is lower. See the
example following.
Example:
You will nd the maximum load and ination
pressure molded on the tire’s sidewall, in small
letters, near the rim ange. It will read something
like this: Maximum load 710 kg (1565 lbs)
350 kPa (51 psi) Max. Press.
For this example, you would set the cold ination
pressure for high-speed driving at 38 psi (262 kPa)
When you end high-speed driving, return the tires
to the cold ination pressures shown on the
tire and loading information label. SeeLoading
Your Vehicle on page 321.Tire Pressure Monitor System
Your vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS). This system uses radio and
sensor technology to check tire pressure levels.
If your vehicle has this feature, sensors are
mounted on each the tire and wheel assembly,
except for the spare tire. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in the vehicle’s tires and
transmits the tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
If your vehicle has the base audio system, the
Driver Information Center (DIC) displays TPMS
warnings and messages on the radio’s display
screen. SeeSystem Controls on page 223
andDIC Warnings and Messages on page 232for
additional information and details about the DIC
operation and displays. If your vehicle has
the Navigation system, TPMS warnings and
messages are displayed on the message center
screen, located inside the tachometer. See
Message Center (CTS-V) on page 215for
information about the message center operation
and displays.
