Airbag System Messages - Chevrolet Tahoe Owner's Manual

STABILITRAK OFF
If your vehicle has StabiliTrak, this
message displays when you turn off
StabiliTrak, or when the stability
control has been automatically
disabled. To limit wheel spin and
realize the full benefits of the
stability enhancement system, you
should normally leave StabiliTrak
on. However, you should turn
StabiliTrak off if your vehicle gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow
and you want to rock your vehicle to
attempt to free it, or if you are
driving in extreme off-road
conditions and require more wheel
spin. See If the Vehicle is Stuck on
page 9 22. To turn the StabiliTrak
system on or off, see StabiliTrak
System on page 9 55.
There are several conditions that
can cause this message to appear.
One condition is overheating,
which could occur if StabiliTrak
activates continuously for an
extended period of time.
The message also displays if the
brake system warning light is on.
See Brake System Warning
Light on page 5 24.
The message could display if the
stability system takes longer
than usual to complete its
diagnostic checks due to driving
conditions.
The message displays if an
engine or vehicle related
®
problem has been detected and
the vehicle needs service. See
your dealer.
The message also displays if
the vehicle is shifted into 4LO
(Two Speed Transfer
Case Only).
