Stabilitrak System - Buick Lucerne 2007 Owner's Manual

The SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL message,
the traction control system warning light and
®
the StabiliTrak warning light will come on to let
you know if there is a problem with the traction
control system. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 221.
When this light and the SERVICE TRACTION
CONTROL message are on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically
comes on whenever you start your vehicle.
To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave the system
on. But you can turn the traction control system off
if you ever need to.
You can turn the system on or off at any time by
pressing the traction control system button located
on the console. The DIC will display TRACTION
CONTROL OFF when you press the button.
Adding non-GM accessories can affect your
vehicle's performance. See Accessories and
Modifications on page 325 for more information.

StabiliTrak System
Your vehicle may have this feature. The
®
StabiliTrak system is an advanced computer
controlled system that helps the driver maintain
directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving
conditions. This is accomplished by selectively
applying any one of the vehicle's brakes and
reducing engine power. The StabiliTrak
comes on automatically whenever you start
your vehicle. The system cannot be turned off.
The STABILITRAK NOT READY message may be
displayed in the DIC and the traction control system
®
and StabiliTrak warning light on the instrument
panel cluster will be on after first driving the vehicle
and exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h) for 30 seconds.
®
The StabiliTrak system is off until the light has
turned off. This could take up to 15 minutes.
The traction control system and StabiliTrak
warning light on the instrument panel cluster will
flash when the system is operating. See Traction
Control System (TCS) Warning Light on page 202,
®
StabiliTrak Indicator Light on page 203 and DIC
