a sportier manner or to downshift when
driving on a downhill grade to provide
engine braking.

position.
2. Press the
+

Traction Control and StabiliTrak® Systems
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak stability control system
assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems
turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
Traction control should be turned off if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is
required.
Press the
StabiliTrak/Traction Control
button. The
Traction Control Off
light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster. Press the button again to turn on the system.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

While driving, the Side Blind Zone Alert system displays a

button to access the Configure menu
