StabiliTrak
®
is an advanced computer-
controlled vehicle stability enhancement
system that automatically uses the func-
tions of the antilock brakes, traction con-
trol and stability control to help you keep
the vehicle continuing in the same direc-
tion that the steering wheel is pointed.
When activated, the system may reduce
engine power to the wheels and apply
braking to individual wheels as neces-
sary to help you maintain directional
control of the vehicle.
When you first start your vehicle and
begin driving, you may hear or feel the
system going through several diagnostic
checks. You may also feel a reduction in
acceleration or hear a noise or vibration
while the system is active. This is normal.
StabiliTrak Button
Parts of the
StabiliTrak
system can
be turned
off at vehicle
speeds below
20 mph. The
system auto-
matically will
turn back on when vehicle speed
exceeds 20 mph. It is recommended to
leave the system on at all times for nor-
mal driving. It may be necessary to turn
off the system if the vehicle is stuck in
sand, mud or snow.

Tire Pressure Monitor
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 cluster. The low tire pressure
warning 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 (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label 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 clear the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next vehi-
cle start-up, the DIC message will reap-
pear if the tire pressure has not been
corrected.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear when
the vehicle is first started and then turn
