To turn the system off, press the TC (traction control) button located in the glove box. Stabilitrak® System Your vehicle may be equipped with a vehicle stability enhancement system called Stabilitrak®. It is an advanced computer controlled system that assists you with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Stabilitrak® activates when the computer senses a discrepancy between your 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 direction which you are steering. When the system activates, a Stability System Engaged message will be displayed on the Driver Information Center. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-61. You may also hear a noise or feel vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal. Continue to steer the vehicle in the direction you want it to go. If there is a problem detected with Stabilitrak®, a Service Stability System message will be displayed on the Driver Information Center. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-61. When this message is displayed, the system is not operational. Driving should be adjusted accordingly. If you press the TC button once, the traction control system will turn off and the traction control system warning light will come on. Press the TC button again to turn the system back on. If you press and hold the TC button for five seconds, the Stabilitrak® system will turn off. Press the TC button again to turn Stabilitrak® back on. For more information, see Stabilitrak® System on page 4-10. You can program your steering wheel controls and/or the buttons on the Base audio system to turn the TCS on or off. See Reconfigureable Steering Wheel Controls (SWC) on page 3-8 for programming instructions. 4-10
