StabiliTrak® System
The vehicle has a vehicle stability enhancement system called StabiliTrak. It is an advanced computer controlled system that assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the computer senses a difference 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 help steer the vehicle in the intended direction.
StabiliTrak is on automatically whenever the vehicle is started. To assist with directional control of the vehicle, the system should always be left on.
TCS/StabiliTrak Light
When the stability control system activates,
flashes on the instrument panel. This
also occurs when traction control is activated. A noise may be heard or vibration
may be felt in the brake pedal. This is normal. Continue to steer the vehicle in
the intended direction. If there is a problem detected with StabiliTrak, the appropriate
message will be displayed on the DIC. See Ride Control System Messages .
When this message is displayed and/or d comes on and stays
on, the vehicle is safe to drive but the system is not operational. Driving should
be adjusted accordingly. If comes on
and stays on, reset the system:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 seconds.
3. Start the engine.
If still comes on and stays on at
a speed above 20 km/h (13 mi/h), see your dealer for service.
