Traction Control and Stabilitrak Systems
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak
assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems
turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started.
Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck
and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak Off
button on the center of the instrument panel
to turn traction control off or back on. The
Traction Control Off light will illuminate on
the instrument cluster when the system is off.
Hill Descent Control
Hill Descent Control sets and maintains vehicle speed from 2–14 mph while descending a
steep incline in a forward or reverse gear.
1. Press the Hill Descent Control button on the center of the instrument panel.
Vehicle speed must be below 31 mph to enable the system. The Hill Descent Control
symbol will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
2. Increase or decrease speed by applying the accelerator or brake pedal or use the Cruise
Control +/– buttons on the steering wheel. The adjusted speed becomes the new set
speed. The symbol flashes when the system is actively applying the brakes to main-
tain vehicle speed.
Tire Pressure Monitor (Single Rear Wheel Models Only)
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one
or more of the vehicle's tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire
pressures. The proper tire pressures for the vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading
Information label, located below the driver's door latch. Current tire pressures can be
viewed in the Driver Information Center.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started in cooler temperatures and
then turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.
Refer to your Owner Manual for additional information about normal monthly tire
maintenance.
