StabiliTrak System
(Automatic Transmission)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a vehicle stability
enhancement system called StabiliTrak
advanced computer controlled system that assists
you with directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.
®
StabiliTrak activates when the computer senses a
discrepancy between your intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrak
selectively applies braking pressure at any one of
the vehicle's brakes to assist the driver with keeping
the vehicle on the intended path.
When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive
away, the system performs several diagnostic checks
to insure there are no problems. You may hear or
feel the system working. This is normal and does not
mean there is a problem with your vehicle.
If there is a problem detected with StabiliTrak
a SERVICE STAB SYS message will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-44 for
more information. When this message is displayed,
the system is not operational. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
