StabiliTrak
– Stability
®
Control System
StabiliTrak combines antilock brake,
traction control, and stability control
systems that help the driver maintain
directional control of the vehicle in
most driving conditions. The system is
designed to help keep the vehicle on
the driver's intended path by using
throttle and brake intervention.
When activated, the system will apply
braking to individual wheels and may
reduce engine power as necessary to
help you maintain directional control of
the vehicle. You may also hear a noise
or vibration, or feel a reduction in
acceleration, while the system is active.
This is normal.
StabiliTrak is automatically turned on
when the vehicle is started and does not
require any driver input. It is recom-
mended to leave the system on at all
times for normal driving. It may be
necessary to turn off the traction control
portion of the system if the vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud or snow.
To turn off the traction control portion of
StabiliTrak, press and release the
(StabiliTrak) button located on the
transmission shift handle. TRACTION
CONTROL OFF will be displayed on the
DIC. Press the button again to turn the
system back on.
To turn off StabiliTrak, press and hold
the
(StabiliTrak) button for five
seconds. STABILITRAK OFF will be
displayed on the DIC. Press the button
again to turn the system back on.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
alerts you when a significant reduction in
pressure occurs in one or more of your
vehicle's tires by illuminating the
(low tire pressure) warning light on the
instrument panel. The low tire pressure
warning light will remain on until you
correct the tire pressure.
You may also have a CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message appear on the
DIC (if equipped).
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must fill the tire to the
proper tire inflation pressure. The Tire
and Loading Information label shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires
when they're cold. "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than one mile.
You can temporarily remove the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next
vehicle startup, the DIC message will
reappear if the tire pressure has not
been corrected.
You may notice during cooler conditions
that the low tire pressure warning light
will appear when the vehicle is first start-
ed and then turn off as you start to drive
the vehicle. This could be an early indi-
cator that your tire pressures are getting
low and need to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitoring
System can alert you about low tire
pressure, but it doesn't replace normal
monthly tire maintenance.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
