    oh yes. ice, snow its all a part of WI winter life. We're getting snow today, about 3 inches so far. I also assume I'm gonna "slide" when i slow down/stop and factor that in :) that's not to say i haven't had some darn close calls...just keep that pedal mashed and hope!

    Like someone already mentioned, if you didn't crash, you did something right.

    Nothing will light up for ABS but traction control flashes an indicator and beeps when that kicks in.

    Sounds like you handled the situation perfectly. As to your question though, I don't think any beeps or dash lights come on when the ABS engages, only when vehicle stability control kicks in, which helps keep you in control when you over-steer while trying to avoid a collision. With the VSC, you'll also hear a mechanical pulsing sound as the breaks kick in on one side of the vehicle or the other, depending on which way the truck is trying to point you.
