SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM This message will display when there is a problem with the theft-deterrent system. The vehicle may or may not restart so you may want to take the vehicle to your dealer before turning off the engine. See PASS-Key® III+ Operation on page 120 for more information. SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL If your vehicle has StabiliTrak®, this message will display when there is a problem with the traction control system. When this message is displayed, the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly. See your dealer for service. See StabiliTrak® System on page 363 for more information. SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM If your vehicle has the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system, this message will display if a part on the system 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 about 20 minutes. A sensor 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. STABILITRAK OFF If your vehicle has StabiliTrak®, this message will display when you turn off StabiliTrak®, or when the stability control has been automatically disabled. To limit wheel spin and realize the full benefits of the stability enhancement system, you should normally leave StabiliTrak® on. However, you should turn StabiliTrak® off if your vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow and you want to rock your vehicle to attempt to free it, or if you are driving in extreme off-road conditions and require more wheel spin. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 406. To turn the StabiliTrak® system on or off, see StabiliTrak® System on page 363. 276
