StabiliTrak System
The vehicle has a stability control
system called StabiliTrak which
combines antilock brake, traction,
and stability control systems and
helps the driver maintain directional
control of the vehicle in most driving
conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the
computer senses a difference
between the intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any one
of the vehicle's brakes to assist the
driver with keeping the vehicle on
the intended path.
When the vehicle is started and
begins to move, the system
performs several diagnostic checks
to ensure that there are no
problems. The system may be
heard or felt while it is working. This
is normal and does not mean there
is a problem with the vehicle.

The StabiliTrak system

driver with vehicle directional
control, especially in slippery road
conditions, the system should
always be left on. StabiliTrak can be
turned off if needed.
