StabiliTrak is an
advanced com-
puter-controlled
vehicle stability
and traction
enhancement
system that
assists with directional control of the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions. It
turns on automatically every time you
start your vehicle.
To limit wheelspin and help maintain
directional control, you should always
leave the system on. However, if your
vehicle becomes stuck and rocking the
vehicle is required, the system should
be turned off.
To turn off the traction control part of
the system, press the
(StabiliTrak)
button located below the climate con-
trols on the instrument panel.
To turn off the traction control and stabil-
ity enhancement systems, press and
hold the button for five seconds.

Tire Pressure Monitor
(if equipped)
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in pressure
occurs in one or more of your vehicle’s
tires by illuminating the (Low Tire
Pressure) warning light on the instru-
ment panel. The low tire pressure warn-
ing light will remain on until you correct
the tire pressure.
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message
may also appear on the DIC.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must fill the tire to the
proper tire inflation pressure. The Tire
and Loading Information label, located
at the bottom of the B pillar, shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires
when they’re cold. “Cold” means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than one mile.
You can temporarily remove the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next vehi-
cle startup, the DIC message will reap-
pear if the tire pressure has not been
corrected.
You may notice during cooler conditions
that the low tire pressure warning light
will appear when the vehicle is first start-
ed and then turn off as you start to drive
the vehicle. This could be an early indi-
cator that your tire pressures are getting
low and need to be inflated to the proper
pressure.

the current gear
selection.
The transmis-
sion will be limit-
ed to the gear selected and lower gears.
Gears higher than the gear selected will
not be available.
If current vehicle speed is too high or
too low for the requested gear, the shift
will not occur.
