STABILITRAK OFF — The driver can turn off
®
StabiliTrak by pressing the StabiliTrak
more than five seconds. The StabiliTrak
on and STABILITRAK OFF will be displayed. For
vehicles without a DIC, the StabiliTrak
will come on. Momentarily pressing the StabiliTrak
button again will return the system to the STABILITRAK
ON mode. See StabiliTrak
information.
Traction Control Off
In this mode, stability control and brake-traction control
are functional. Engine speed management will be
modified and the driven wheels can spin more freely.
This can cause the brake-traction control to activate
more frequently. If the controller detects excessive wheel
spin in this mode, the StabiliTrak
blink and the STABILITRAK ACTIVE message may be
displayed to warn the driver that damage may occur
to the transfer case.

StabiliTrak Off
In this mode, both stability control and part of the
traction control system are disabled. Your vehicle will
still have brake-traction control, but will not be able
to use the engine speed management system. You may
still hear system noises as a result of the brake-traction
control coming on. If the controller detects excessive
wheel spin in this mode, the StabiliTrak
may blink and the STABILITRAK ACTIVE message
may be displayed to warn the driver that damage may
occur to the transfer case.
It is recommended to leave the system on for normal
driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn
the system off if your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
ice or snow, and you may want to "rock" your vehicle
in an attempt to free it. It may also be necessary to
turn off the system when driving in extreme off-road
conditions where high wheel spin is required. See
If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow
on page 4-21 for more information.
