Stabilitrak Traction Control

Traction control is part of the
Stabilitrak system.
The system comes on automatical-
ly when you start the engine.
When the system senses that
any of the wheels are spinning
or beginning to lose traction, it
selectively applies the brakes
and/or reduces engine power to
limit wheel spin.
The Stabilitrak Indicator Light will
flash.
