StabiliTrak System
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 help steer the vehicle in the
direction which you are steering.
