audio SATURN VUE 2004 Owner's Manual

This light will come on
when your traction control
system is limiting wheel
spin. SeeLow Traction
Light on page 3-33.
You may feel or hear
the system working, but
this is normal.
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, ice or snow and rocking the vehicle is
required. See “Rocking Your Vehicle To Get It Out”
underIf You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow
on page 4-44.If your vehicle is equipped
with the 2.2L four cylinder
engine, the traction
control system can be
turned off by pressing the
traction control button.
It is located on the
instrument panel above
the audio system.
The light on the button will go off. If your vehicle is
equipped with the 3.5L V6 engine, the traction control
system will be turned off when the shift lever is in
REVERSE (R) or LOW (L). The traction control system
warning light will be displayed on the instrument
panel.
The traction control system can be activated again
by pressing the traction control button for the 2.2L
four cylinder engine, or by selecting DRIVE (D)
or INTERMEDIATE (I) for the 3.5L V6 engine.
