differential SATURN SKY 2007 Owners Manual

When the system is on,
this warning light will
come on and stay on to
let you know if there
is a problem.
When this light is on solid and either the SERVICE
TRACTION or TRACTION OFF message is
displayed, the system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 147.
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. You can turn
the traction control system off if you ever need to.
To turn the system off,
press and release this
button located on
the console.Press the traction control system button again to
turn the system back on. The DIC will display
the appropriate message when you press
the button.
Adding non-Saturn accessories can affect your
vehicle’s performance. SeeAccessories and
Modications on page 233for more information.
Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Your vehicle may have a limited-slip rear
differential which provides maximum power and
performance. It is designed to give you additional
traction on snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It
works like a standard axle most of the time, but
when one of the rear wheels has no traction
and the other does, this feature will allow
the wheel with traction to move the vehicle.
During a sudden shift, such as shifting from
FIRST (1) to SECOND (2) gear at low engine
speeds or suddenly applying the clutch, you may
feel or hear a clunking or rattling noise. This is
normal.
