Instruments and Controls

StabiliTrak OFF Light

This light comes on briefly while starting
the vehicle. If it does not, have the vehicle
serviced by your dealer.

This light comes on when the StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is
turned off. If StabiliTrak/ESC is off, the
Traction Control System (TCS) is also off.

If the StabiliTrak/ESC and TCS are off, the
system does not assist in controlling the
vehicle. Turn on the TCS and the StabiliTrak/
ESC systems and the warning light turns off.

See

Traction Control/Electronic Stability

Traction Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak Light

This light comes on briefly when the vehicle
is turned on.

If the light does not come on, have the
vehicle serviced by your dealer. If the
system is working normally, the indicator
light turns off.

If the light is on and not flashing, the TCS
and potentially the StabiliTrak/ESC system
are not fully operational and may not assist
in maintaining control. Adjust driving
accordingly. If the condition persists, see
your dealer as soon as possible. A Driver
Information Center (DIC) message may
display.

The light flashes when the TCS and/or the
StabiliTrak/ESC system is actively working.

See

Traction Control/Electronic Stability

.

Tire Pressure Light

For vehicles with the Tire Pressure Monitor
System (TPMS), this light comes on briefly
when the engine is started. It provides
information about tire pressures and
the TPMS.

When the Light Is On Steady

This indicates that one or more of the tires
are significantly underinflated.

A Driver Information Center (DIC) tire
pressure message may also display. Stop as
soon as possible, and inflate the tires to the
pressure value shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See

Tire Pressure

When the Light Flashes First and Then Is On
Steady

If the light flashes for about a minute and
then stays on, there may be a problem with
the TPMS. If the problem is not corrected,
