StabiliTrak ®

– Stability Control

System (if equipped)
StabiliTrak is an
advanced computer-
controlled vehicle
stability and traction
enhancement sys-
tem that assists with
directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions. It turns on automatical-
ly every time you start your vehicle.
To limit wheelspin and help maintain
directional control, you should always
leave the system on. However, if your
vehicle becomes stuck and rocking the
vehicle is required, the system should
be turned off.
To turn off the traction control part of the
system, press the
ton located below the climate controls
on the instrument panel.
To turn off the traction control and stabil-
ity enhancement systems, press and
hold the button for five seconds.
When the system is turned off, the
StabiliTrak light will illuminate.

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
Pressure) warning light on the instrument
panel. The low tire pressure warning light
will remain on until you correct the tire
pressure.
You may also have a CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message appear on the
DIC (if equipped).
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must inflate the tire to
the proper tire pressure (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label shows the
correct tire 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 remove the DIC mes-
sage by acknowledging it with your DIC
controls. However, at the next vehicle
start-up, the DIC message will reappear 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
off as you start to drive. This could be
an early indicator that your tire pres-
sures are getting low and the tires need
to be inflated to the proper pressure.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but it
doesn't replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
