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,

d

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 on page 5

.

When a 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.
