TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
The system limits wheel spin by
working the brakes and reducing
engine power. To limit wheelspin, you
should always leave the system on. If
your vehicle becomes stuck and
rocking the vehicle is required, the
system should be turned off.
To turn off the
system, press the
Traction Control
button located on
the center console.
For vehicles without
a center console, the
button is located at
the end of the
gearshift lever.
STABILITRAK
®
– STABILITY
CONTROL SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED)
StabiliTrak is an advanced computer-
controlled vehicle stability enhancement
system that assists with directional
control of the vehicle in difficult driving
conditions. It turns on automatically
every time you start your vehicle.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(IF EQUIPPED)
This feature uses a camera mounted on
the windshield near the inside rearview
mirror to detect lane markings and alert
the driver when the vehicle departs
from the lane. It operates only at
speeds greater than 35 mph (56 km/h).
The warning symbol, located
in the instrument panel
cluster, will appear green if a
lane marking is detected. It
will change to amber, flash and sound
three chimes if you cross a detected
lane marking without your turn signal
on.
The system is enabled at every vehicle
startup. You can turn it off by pressing
the control located near the headlamp
control. An indicator on the control will
light when the system is on. This
system may not function if the camera
is obstructed, the windshield is dirty or
the camera cannot distinguish visible
lane markings. Snow covered roads,
bright reflections off pavement or low
sun angle into camera lens are all
conditions which may not allow the
system to function.
When the system senses a discrepancy
between your intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling, it selectively applies brake
pressure at any one of the wheels to
help steer the vehicle in the direction in
which you are steering.

oil life based on vehicle use and
displays CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON
