What does "trac off" mean when it is lit up on a Chevy Cavalier near the other things like fuel level etc?

Question

it also says other stuff, like RPMs, and there is a digital mileage , your speed, etc....but in like an auburn orange, after exiting the free way, all of a sudden it says "trac off" , it was not on before, and it stayed on the whole way home ? Is this a bad thing?

It is a year 2001

Answer 1

It means your traction control is off. Did you accidentally hit the button for it?

Answer 2

The emergency brake is up. You may have forgotten.

Answer 3

yea someone hit the traction control button, it's nothing serious it helps you in icy conditions or low traction situations

Answer 4

trac is traction control. your car automatically senses whell slippage and will lock the other drive wheel to provide traction. for example if you pull off the side of the road with one wheel on grass and one wheel on pavement the traction control diverts the pulling power to the wheel that is on pavement. whe n the trac off lite is lit you will probably spin the tire that is in the grass. you should take the car to a reputable repair shop or the dealer and get it checked out

Answer 5

traction control is off and not engaged.
