Service Transmission This message will display if there is a problem with the transmission of your vehicle. Have your vehicle serviced by your GM dealer. Stability System Off This message will be displayed any time you turn off StabiliTrak® using the TC (traction control) on/off button. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9 for more information. When this message has been displayed, StabiliTrak® is no longer available to assist you with directional control of the vehicle. Adjust your driving accordingly. Service Vehicle Soon This message is displayed when a non-emissions related powertrain malfunction occurs. Have your vehicle serviced by your GM dealer as soon as possible. Stability System Ready This message will be displayed any time you turn StabiliTrak® on again using the TC (traction control) on/off button. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9 for more information. When this message has been displayed, StabiliTrak® is ready to assist you with directional control of the vehicle, if needed. Speed Limited to 80 mph (129 km/h) This message indicates that your vehicle speed is limited to 80 mph (129 km/h) because the vehicle detects a problem in the suspension system. Have your vehicle serviced at your GM dealer. Stability System Engaged This message will be displayed any time StabiliTrak® is actively assisting you with directional control of the vehicle. Slippery road conditions may exist when this message is displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly. This message may stay on for a few seconds after StabiliTrak® stops assisting you with directional control of the vehicle. See StabiliTrak® System on page 4-11 for more information. Starting Disabled - Remove Key This message will appear when the vehicle theft-deterrent system detects that an improper ignition key is being used to try to start the vehicle. Check the ignition key for damage. If it is damaged, it may need to be replaced. If it is not damaged, remove the key and try to start the vehicle again. If it still does not start, try another ignition key or have your vehicle serviced by your GM dealer. 3-64
