Traction control is a nice, new feature that uses the anti-lock brake sensors at the wheels to determine if a wheel is slipping. Since the traction control is automatic, it operates only when needed. Nowhere in the operating instructions does it state when it's appropriate to turn off the traction control. On the dash it has a pushbutton switch to turn off the traction control. The ASR system warning light should go off.I recently purchased a 1995 Ford Contour with traction control. You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing the button again. It will wait until there's no longer a current need to limit wheel spin. If the ASR system is limiting wheel spin when you press the button, the warning light will come on - but the system won't turn off right away. The ASR system warning light will come on and stay on. But you can turn the ASR system off if your vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you should always leave the system on. The ASR system automatically comes on whenever you start your vehicle. When the 'ASR OFF' warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin. When the system is on, the 'ASR OFF' warning light will come on to let you know if there's a problem with your ASR system. When road conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may re-engage the cruise control. If your vehicle is in cruise control when the ASR system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. Examples of these conditions include a hard acceleration in a turn, or an abrupt upshift or downshift. This is normal and doesn't man there's a problem with your vehicle. The ASR system may operate on dry roads under some conditions, and you may notice a reduction in acceleration when this happens. You may feel or hear the system working, but this is normal. The 'Low Trac' light will come on when your ASR system is limiting wheel spin. When this happens, the system for V8 engines works the rear brakes and for V8 and V6 engines reduces engine power by closing the throttle and managing engine spark to limit wheel spin. The system operates only if it senses that one or both of the rear wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. Your vehicle may have a traction control system called ASR that limits wheel spin. I am copying this directly from the Camaro owner's manual. I am making this thread to hopefully stop all the threads on this topic.
