PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
®
StabiliTrak
– Stability
Control System
®
StabiliTrak
is an advanced
computer-controlled vehicle stability
enhancement system that assists
with directional control of the vehicle
in difficult driving conditions. It turns
on automatically every time you start
your vehicle.
When the system senses a discrepancy
between your intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling, it selectively applies brake
pressure at any one of the wheels to
help steer the vehicle in the direction
in which you are steering.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Traction Control
The traction control
system limits
wheelspin, which
is especially useful
in slippery road
conditions. You should always leave
the system on. However, if your vehicle
becomes stuck and rocking the vehicle
is required, the system should be
turned off.
To turn off the system, press the
traction control button located on
the center console. For vehicles
without a center console, the
button is located at the end of the
gearshift lever.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
(if equipped)
Brake Assist
(if equipped)
The brake assist system monitors
the intention of the driver while
braking. If the system senses that
hard/fast pressure has been applied
to the brake pedal, the system will
generate additional pressure,
making it easier to maintain brake
application. When this happens, the
brake pedal may feel easier to push.
This is normal; just hold the brake
pedal down firmly.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Magnetic Ride Control
(if equipped)
Magnetic Ride Control automatically
adjusts the ride of your vehicle
through a computer used to control
and monitor the suspension system.
The computer receives input from
various sensors to determine the
proper system response. This
provides enhanced control and
ride comfort under a variety of
road conditions.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
