Traction Control and StabiliTrak

 — The full-

time traction control system limits wheelspin 

and the StabiliTrak electronic stability control 

system assists with directional control of the 

vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both 

systems turn on automatically every time the 

vehicle is started. Traction control should be 

turned off if the vehicle is stuck and rocking 

the vehicle is required.

  To turn traction control on or off, press the 

Traction Control
