SERVICE TRACTION
CONTROL

If the vehicle has StabiliTrak, this
message displays when there is a
problem with the Traction Control
System (TCS). When this message
displays, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving
accordingly. See your dealer for
service. See

Traction Control/

Electronic Stability Control on
page 9-29

.

STABILITRAK INITIALIZING

If the vehicle has StabiliTrak, this
message may display until first
driving the vehicle and exceeding
40 km/h (25 mph) for two minutes.
The StabiliTrak system is not
functional until this message has
turned off. See

Traction Control/

Electronic Stability Control on
page 9-29

TRACTION XX
STABILITRAK XX

If the vehicle has StabiliTrak, this
message displays when the traction
control and/or StabiliTrak systems
have been turned on or off. Adjust
your driving accordingly. 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 the vehicle gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow
and you want to rock the vehicle to
attempt to free it, or if you are
driving in extreme off-road
conditions and require more wheel
spin. See

If the Vehicle Is Stuck on

page 9-8

. To turn the StabiliTrak

system on or off, see

Traction

Control/Electronic Stability Control
on page 9-29

.

STABILITRAK OFF may also
display when the stability control
has been automatically disabled.
There are several conditions that
can cause this message to appear.

.

One condition is overheating,
which could occur if StabiliTrak
activates continuously for an
extended period of time.

.

The message also displays if the
brake system warning light is on.
See

Brake System Warning

Light on page 5-19

.

.

The message could display if the
stability system takes longer
than usual to complete its
diagnostic checks due to driving
conditions.

.

The message displays if an
engine or vehicle related
problem has been detected and
the vehicle needs service. See
your dealer.

The message turns off as soon as
the conditions that caused the
message to be displayed are no
longer present.
