StabiliTrak System (Automatic
Transmission)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a vehicle stability
enhancement system called StabiliTrak
advanced computer controlled system that assists you
with directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.

StabiliTrak activates when the computer senses a
discrepancy between your 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 you first start your vehicle and begin to drive
away, the system performs several diagnostic checks to
insure there are no problems. You may hear or feel
the system working. This is normal and does not mean
there is a problem with your vehicle.

SERVICE STAB SYS message will be displayed on the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-44 for more information.
