How do you tell if your car has T/C? If my wheels spin, it say's "Low Traction" and the T/C light in the Message Center comes on once in a while.

Does that mean my car is equipped with T/C?

Thanks,
Justin

 

If it says "low traction" then you probably have traction control.

Does it seem to bog down after you spin your wheels?

 

not really, I mean a little, but nothing ridiculous......Its only been in the rain so far, so I doubt that its gonna make that big of a difference.......

Maybe I'll have to wait until the damned snow arrives........

Thanks

 

anyone else with an automatic, know about this?

 

the question is then, how well does it work?...

 

i thought T/C came standard with automatics? Well, I remember reading that in some random reviews in the past.

 

Yea it does...if i remeber right, u have to put the shifter in the "I" position on the gear selector to turn it off.

 

if you have an auto ls than u have traction control. The only way to turn it off is to put it in first gear. I had a ton a fun with it at the end of last winter.

 

are they good in the snow? anyone know?

 

not all auto trannys have the "I". To my knowledge none of the 2005 have it. The ones that I know have the "I" is the 2.4ss. but yes use either. There is no way to turn off trc for all 4 gears. dont take the trc for granted though you could still get stuck or lose controle...

 

T/C comes standard with ABS, AFAIK.

 

it does, im not sure about the base models but i know the LS has it my sis LS has T|C on it.... and its auto

 

t/c is not standard with an auto trans. Base models have no abs or t/c.. It is a feature included with the ls/lt.. you think you paid 4 grand more than a base model for aluminum rims and a chrome exhuast tip?

 

actually, my base cobalt has t/c.....it came along with the abs as an added option.....the only way i know to turn it off is to pull the parking brake up to the first notch.....

 

yeah i honestly thought that if you had ABS and an auto it came with traction control. I have an LS so i honestly think i got traction control. I do remember reading it on numerous reviews. So im guessing its on there.

 

Please, guys, when you say you have an LS mention the year. 2006 LS is 2005 Base.
