9-34 Driving and Operating It may be necessary to turn the system off if the vehicle ever gets stuck in sand, mud, or snow and rocking the vehicle is required. See If the Vehicle Is Stuck on page 9￿10 for more information. See also Winter Driving on page 9￿8 for information on using TCS when driving in snowy or icy conditions. If cruise control is being used when TCS activates, cruise control will automatically disengage. Press the cruise control button to re￿engage when road conditions allow. See Cruise Control on page 9￿36. Adding non￿GM accessories can affect the vehicle's performance. See Accessories and Modifications on page 10￿4 for more information. 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 to 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. Trailer Sway Control (TSC) is also on automatically when the vehicle is started. See Trailer Sway Control (TSC) on page 9￿61 for more information. When the stability control system activates, the Traction Control System (TCS)/StabiliTrak light will flash on the instrument panel. This also occurs when traction control or TSC 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, SERVICE STABILITRAK is displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and d will stay on. See Ride Control System Messages on page 5￿37.
