DRIVING AND OPERATING
conditions allow. TCS and StabiliTrak/
ESC will automatically turn on when
cruise control is set.
Both systems come on automatically
when the vehicle is started and begins
to move. The systems may be heard or
felt while they are operating or while
performing diagnostic checks. This is
normal and does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle.
It is recommended to leave both
systems on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary to
turn TCS off if the vehicle gets stuck
in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See
and
“
Turning
the Systems Off and On

later in this
section.
The indicator light for both systems is
in the instrument cluster. This light:
.
May flash when ABS is active.
.
Will flash when TCS is limiting
wheel spin.
.
Will flash when StabiliTrak/ESC is
activated.
.
Will turn on and stay on when
either system is not working.
If either system fails to turn on or to
activate, a message may display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC), and
d
comes on and stays on to indicate
that the system is inactive and is not
assisting the driver in maintaining
control. The vehicle is safe to drive,
but driving should be adjusted
accordingly.
If
d
comes on and stays on:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and wait
15 seconds.
3. Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle. If
d
comes on and
stays on, the vehicle may need more
time to diagnose the problem. If the
condition persists, see your dealer.
