TRACTION XX
STABILITRAK XX
This message displays when the
traction control and/or StabiliTrak
systems have been turned on or off.
Adjust your driving accordingly. 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 the vehicle gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow
and you want to rock the 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 15. To turn the StabiliTrak
system on or off, see StabiliTrak
System on page 9 43.
STABILITRAK OFF may also
display when the stability control
has been automatically disabled.
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 21.
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 turns off as soon as
the conditions that caused the
message to be displayed are no
longer present.
