Ride Control Systems StabiliTrak® System The vehicle may have a vehicle stability enhancement system called StabiliTrak. It is an advanced computer controlled system that assists the driver with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. StabiliTrak activates when the computer senses a discrepancy between the intended path and the direction the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrak selectively applies braking pressure at any one of the vehicle's brakes to assist the driver with keeping the vehicle on the intended path. When the vehicle is started and begins to move, the system performs several diagnostic checks to ensure there are no problems. The system may be heard or felt while it is working. This is normal and does not mean there is a problem with the vehicle. The The Traction Control System (TCS)/ StabiliTrak indicator light comes on in the instrument cluster when the system requires service. When StabiliTrak activates, the TCS/StabiliTrak indicator light flashes in the instrument cluster. This also occurs when TCS is activated. See Traction Control System (TCS)/ StabiliTrak® Light on page 5‑22. For your safety, the system can only be disabled when the vehicle speed is less than 40 km/h (25 mph). Press the StabiliTrak button on the instrument panel once to turn off the Traction Control System (TCS). The appropriate message is displayed in the DIC.

Driving and Operating
Ride Control Systems
StabiliTrak
®
System
The vehicle may have a vehicle
stability enhancement system called
StabiliTrak. It is an advanced
computer controlled system that
assists the driver with directional
control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the
computer senses a discrepancy
between the intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any one
of the vehicle's brakes to assist the
driver with keeping the vehicle on
the intended path.
When the vehicle is started and
begins to move, the system
performs several diagnostic checks
to ensure there are no problems.
The system may be heard or felt
while it is working. This is normal
and does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle. The
system should initialize before the
vehicle reaches 40 km/h (25 mph).
In some cases, it may take
approximately 3.2 km (2 mi) of
driving before the system initializes.
The Traction Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak indicator light comes on
in the instrument cluster when the
system requires service.
When StabiliTrak activates, the
TCS/StabiliTrak indicator light
flashes in the instrument cluster.
This also occurs when TCS is
activated.

For your safety, the system can only
be disabled when the vehicle speed
is less than 40 km/h (25 mph).
Press the StabiliTrak button on the
instrument panel once to turn off the
Traction Control System (TCS). The
appropriate message is displayed in
the DIC.
Press and hold the StabiliTrak
button to turn off StabiliTrak and
TCS. The StabiliTrak Off light
