Cadillac escalade 2002 User Manual

If you used the button to turn the system off, the TRAC
OFF light will come on and stay on. You can turn the
system back on at any time by pressing the button again.
The TRAC OFF light should go off.

If desired, you can change the TCS automatic
engagement feature so that the system will not come 
on automatically when the engine is started. To do so:

1. Park the vehicle with the ignition off and the

transmission in PARK (P).

2. Turn the ignition to RUN; do not start the engine.

3. Apply the brake pedal, press the accelerator pedal to

the floor and then press the TCS on/off button and
hold it down for at least six seconds.

4. Release the TCS button and both pedals.

5. Turn off the ignition and wait a few seconds.

The next time you start your vehicle, the TCS will not
automatically come on. You can restore the automatic
feature by using the same procedure. Whether the 
TCS is set to come on automatically or not, you can
always turn the system on or off by pressing the TCS
on/off button.

Your vehicle may have the Stabilitrak system, which
helps the driver maintain directional control of the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions. This is
accomplished by selectively applying either of the
vehicle’s front brakes and/or momentarily reducing
engine power.

When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive
away, the Stabilitrak system performs several diagnostic
checks to insure that there are no problems. The green
light near the Stabilitrak switch will turn on when the
diagnostic checks are complete and the stability
enhancement system is ready to activate if needed. 
The light will come on only after the vehicle reaches a
speed of at least 10 mph.

The STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message will
come on when the system is operating. See “Message
Center” in the Index for more information. You may
also feel or hear the system working. This is normal.
