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
