Chevrolet Malibu Owner Manual - 2012

9-28 Driving and Operating

To turn the system off or on, press

and release this button located on

the center console.

The traction off light comes on and

the DIC will display the appropriate

message as described previously

when the button is pressed.

Traction Control Operation

Traction control limits wheel spin by

reducing engine power to the

wheels (engine speed management)

and by applying brakes to each

individual wheel (brake-traction

control) as necessary.

The traction control system is

enabled automatically when the

vehicle is started, and it will activate

and flash the ESC/TCS light and

display the LOW TRACTION

message if it senses either of the

front wheels are spinning or

beginning to lose traction while

driving. For more information on the

LOW TRACTION message, see

Ride Control System Messages on

page 5‑26.

Notice: If the wheel(s) of one axle

are allowed to spin excessively

while the ESC/TCS, ABS and

Brake warning lights and the

SERVICE ESC and/or SERVICE

TRACTION messages are

displayed, the differential could

be damaged. The repairs would

not be covered by the vehicle

warranty. Reduce engine power

and do not spin the wheel(s)

excessively while these lights and

this message are displayed.

Notice: When traction control is

turned off, it is possible to lose

traction. If you attempt to shift

with the front wheels spinning

with a loss of traction, it is

possible to cause damage to the

transmission. Do not attempt to

shift when the front wheels do not

have traction. Damage caused by

misuse of the vehicle is not

covered. See your warranty book

for additional information.

The traction control system may

activate on dry or rough roads or

under conditions such as heavy

acceleration while turning or abrupt

upshifts/downshifts of the

transmission. When this happens, a

reduction in acceleration may be

noticed, or a noise or vibration may

be heard. This is normal.

If the vehicle is in cruise control

when the system activates, the

ESC/TCS light will flash and the

cruise control will automatically

disengage. The cruise control may

be re-engaged when road

conditions allow. See Cruise Control

on page 9‑31.
