Ride Control Systems

StabiliTrak

®

System

The vehicle may have a vehicle
stability enhancement system called
StabiliTrak

®

. It is an advanced

computer-controlled system that
assists the driver with directional
control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.

StabiliTrak activates when the
computer senses a discrepancy
between the intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any one
of the vehicle's brakes to assist the
driver with keeping the vehicle on
the intended path.

When the vehicle is started and
begins to move, the system
performs several diagnostic checks
to insure there are no problems.
The system may be heard or felt
while it is working. This is normal
and does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle. The

system should initialize before the
vehicle reaches 32 km/h (20 mph).
In some cases, it may take
approximately 3.2 km (2 mi) of
driving before the system initializes.

If cruise control is being used
when StabiliTrak activates, the
cruise control automatically
disengages. The cruise control
can be re-engaged when road
conditions allow. See

Cruise Control

on page 9

for more information.

If the system fails to turn on or
activate, the StabiliTrak light along
with one of the following messages
will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC):
TRACTION CONTROL OFF,
SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,
STABILITRAK OFF, SERVICE
STABILITRAK. If these DIC
messages appear, make sure the
StabiliTrak system has not been
turned off using the StabiliTrak on/
off button. Then turn the vehicle off,
wait 15 seconds, and turn it back on
again to reset the system. If any of
these messages still appear on the

DIC, the vehicle should be taken in
for service. For more information
on the DIC messages, see

Ride

Control System Messages on

.

The StabiliTrak light will flash on the
instrument panel cluster when the
system is both on and activated.

The system may be heard or felt
while it is working; this is normal.

The traction control disable button is
located on the instrument panel
below the climate controls.
