SERVICE TRANSMISSION: This message indicates that there is a problem with the transmission. Have your vehicle serviced by your dealership. SERVICE VEHICLE SOON: This message is displayed when a non-emissions related powertrain malfunction occurs. Have your vehicle serviced by a technician as soon as possible. SHIFT TO PARK: This message indicates that the vehicle is not in PARK (P) when the engine is being turned off. The vehicle will be in ACCESSORY. Once the shifter is moved to PARK (P), the vehicle will turn off. STABILITRAK ACTIVE: You may see the STABILITRAK ACTIVE message on the Driver Information Center. It means that an advanced, computer-controlled system has come on to help your vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you're steering. This stability enhancement system activates when the computer senses that your vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal. When the STABILITRAK ACTIVE message is on, you should continue to steer in the direction you want to go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or other difficult driving situations by making the most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITRAK ACTIVE message comes on, you'll know that something has caused your vehicle to start to spin, so you should consider slowing down. A single chime will also sound when this message is displayed. STABILITRAK READY: If you receive this message and hear a chime, the system has completed the functional check of the Stabilitrak® System. STABILITRAK WARMING: When you first start your vehicle and drive away, especially during cold winter weather, the STABILITRAK WARMING message may be displayed in the DIC along with a chime and the traction control warning light. This is normal. You can acknowledge this message by pressing the RESET button. The Stabilitrak® performance is affected until the STABILITRAK READY message is displayed in the DIC. SVC TIRE MONITOR: If this message comes on, a part on the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) is not working properly. If you drive your vehicle while any of the four sensors are missing or inoperable, the warning will come on in approximately 10 minutes. If all four sensors are missing, the warning will come on in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (All the sensors would be missing, for example, if you put different wheels on your vehicle without transferring the sensors.) If the warning comes on and stays on, there may be a problem with the TPM. See your dealer. 3-65
