StabiliTrak System
The vehicle has an electronic
stability control system called
StabiliTrak. It is an advanced
computer controlled system that
assists with directional control of the
vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the
system senses a discrepancy
between the intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any one
of the vehicle's brakes to help steer
the vehicle in the direction which
you are steering.

Driving and Operating
When the system activates, this
warning light flashes on the
instrument panel. A noise may be
heard or a vibration may be felt in
the brake pedal. This is normal.
Continue to steer the vehicle in the
intended direction.
If there is a problem detected with
StabiliTrak, the appropriate
message displays on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) and the
TCS/StabiliTrak warning light comes
on in the instrument panel cluster.
When this message and light
display, the system is not
operational. Driving should be
adjusted accordingly. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) on
page 5 27 and Traction Control
System (TCS)/StabiliTrak
page 5 24.
