StabiliTrak Off
In this mode, both stability control and part of the
traction control system are disabled. The vehicle will still
have brake-traction control, but will not be able to use
the engine speed management system. System
noises maybe heard as a result of the brake-traction
control coming on. If the controller detects excessive
wheel spin in this mode, the StabiliTrak indicator
light may blink and the STABILITRAK ACTIVE message
may be displayed to warn the driver that damage
may occur to the transfer case.

It is recommended to leave the system on for normal
driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn the
system off if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or
snow, and you may want to "rock" the vehicle in an
attempt to free it. It may also be necessary to turn off the
system when driving in extreme off-road conditions where
high wheel spin is required. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck
in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 4-20 for more
information.
