Traction / stability control warning light: meaning and what to do

What it means

Flashing while driving means the system is working to stop wheel spin on a slippery road.

Can I keep driving?

Yes. The traction / stability control light is information, not a fault. It tells you a system is on or needs a simple action.

What to do

Ease off the throttle. If it stays on solid, the system may have a fault; have it checked.

What the color tells you

Amber or yellow lights mean a system needs attention. It's usually safe to keep driving carefully, but don't put it off.
