Stabilitrak ® System - Chevrolet 2008 Uplander Owner's Manual

If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press the
button, the TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVE message will

system is off. You can turn the system back on at any
time by pressing the button again. The traction control
system warning message should go off.

StabiliTrak System
Your vehicle may be equipped with StabiliTrak
combines anti-lock brake, traction and stability control
systems and helps the driver maintain directional control
of the vehicle in most driving conditions.
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.
If the system fails to turn on or activate, the SERVICE
STABILITY SYSTEM message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC). If the vehicle has
gone through heavy acceleration or braking or multiple
turns during the first two miles of driving after starting
your vehicle, the STABILITY CONTROL OFF message
may appear on the DIC. If this is the case, your
vehicle does not need servicing. You will need to turn
the vehicle off and then restart it to initialize StabiliTrak
If either message appears on the DIC, and your
vehicle has not gone through hard acceleration, braking
or multiple turns in the first two miles of driving, your
vehicle should be taken in for service.
