To reset the system, do the follow-
ing:
1. Stop the vehicle and turn the
engine off.
2. Wait about 15 seconds before
restarting the engine.
If the message reappears, the
vehicle needs service.
If neither the messages nor the
light appears, the system has
properly initialized and is ready to
help maintain directional control
under slippery road conditions.
If the vehicle begins to go in a
direction other than that intended
by the driver, the Stabilitrak
system activates.
Adjustments will be made
automatically to try to regain
control of the vehicle.
You may feel or hear the system
working, but this is normal.
When the Stabilitrak system
activates, the Stabilitrak Indicator
Light will flash.
You should normally leave the
system in its normal operating
mode, however make sure to turn
the system off if the vehicle is stuck
in mud, sand or snow.
See "If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck" in
Section 5.
It may also be necessary to turn off
the system when driving in
extreme off-road conditions where
high wheel spin is required.
Section 1
