Starting and Operating Instructions
Stabilitrak ® System
The system helps maintain
directional control under slippery
road conditions.
See Section 1 for more information
®
on the Stabilitrak system.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle

The locking rear axle can give
added traction on snow, ice, etc.
Normally, the locking axle unit
works like a standard axle.
However, when either drive wheel
is on a slippery surface and the
opposite wheel has better traction,
the locking unit can continue to
move the vehicle even though one
of the wheels may initially be
spinning.

■ STEERING

Power Steering

If you lose power steering assist
because the engine stops or the
system is malfunctioning, you can
still steer but it will take much
more effort.

Speed Sensitive Steering

This system automatically varies
the amount of steering effort in
proportion to your vehicle speed.
The required steering effort
increases as your speed increases.
If your vehicle seems more difficult
to steer than normal when parking
or driving slowly, there may be a
problem with the system. You will
still have power steering but it will
take much more effort at slow
speeds. See your dealer for service.
