StabiliTrak System
The vehicle has a stability control
system called StabiliTrak which
combines antilock brake, traction
and stability control systems and
helps the driver maintain directional
control of the vehicle in most driving
conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the
computer senses a diifference
between the intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any one
of the vehicle's brakes to assist the
driver with keeping the vehicle on
the intended path.
When the vehicle is started and
begins to move, the system
performs several diagnostic checks
to insure there are no problems.
The system may be heard or felt
while it is working. This is normal
and does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle.
This light is located on the
instrument panel cluster.
It will flash when StabiliTrak is both
on and activated.
If the system fails to turn on or
activate, this light will be on solid.
When the light is on solid, the
system will not assist the driver
maintain directional control of the
vehicle. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
The StabiliTrak system
automatically comes on whenever
the vehicle is started. To assist the
driver with vehicle directional
control, especially in slippery road
conditions, the system should
always be left on. StabiliTrak can be
turned off if needed.
The Traction Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak button is located on the
instrument panel.
TCS can be turned off or turned on
by pressing and releasing the TCS/
StabiliTrak button. To disable both
StabiliTrak and TCS, press and hold
the button until the TCS/StabiliTrak
warning light turns on solid.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if the vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow,
and you want to “rock” the vehicle to
attempt to free it.
