Low Traction Active Light
LOW
TRAC
Your LOW TRAC (Low
Traction Active) light may
come on for one of the
following reasons:
An advanced computer-controlled system called
Stabilitrak@ (if equipped) has come on to help
your vehicle continue to go in the direction in which
you're steering. This stability enhancement
system activates when the computer senses that
your vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you
hit a patch of ice or other slippery spot on the
road. When the system is on, you may hear a noise
or feel a vibration in the brake pedal. This is
normal.
In these situations when the LOW TRAC light is on
and the system is engaged, you should continue
to steer in the direction you want to go. The system
is designed to help you in bad weather or other
difficult driving situations by making the most
of whatever road conditions will permit.
