StabiliTrak

System

The vehicle has a vehicle stability
enhancement 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
computer senses a difference
between the intended path and
the direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure to the
vehicle's brakes to help steer the
vehicle in the intended direction.
StabiliTrak is on automatically
whenever the vehicle is started.
To assist with directional control
of the vehicle, the system should
always be left on.

When the stability control system
activates, the Traction Control
System (TCS)/StabiliTrak light
will flash on the instrument panel.
This also occurs when traction
control is activated. A noise may
be heard or 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, SERVICE
STABILITRAK is displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC)
and will stay on. See Vehicle
Messages on page 5 34. When
this message is displayed and/or
comes on and stays on, the vehicle
is safe to drive but the system is
not operational. Driving should be
adjusted accordingly. See Ride
Control System Messages on
page 5 39.
If comes on and stays on, reset
the system by:
1. Stopping the vehicle.
2. Turning the engine off and
waiting 15 seconds.
3. Starting the engine.
If still comes on and stays on at a
speed above 20 km/h (13 mph), see
your dealer for service.
