StabiliTrak
®
– Stability Control
System
StabiliTrak is an advanced computer-
controlled vehicle stability and traction
enhancement system that assists with
directional control of the vehicle in diffi-
cult driving conditions. It turns on every
time you start your vehicle. To limit
wheelspin and help maintain directional
control, you should always leave the sys-
tem on. If your vehicle becomes stuck
and rocking the vehicle is required, the
system should be turned off.
To turn off the traction control part of
the system, press the
button located on the center of the
instrument panel.
To turn off the traction control and stabil-
ity enhancement systems, press and
hold the button for five seconds.
When the system is off, the StabiliTrak
light on the instrument panel cluster will
illuminate. Press the button again to turn
the system back on.

Tire Pressure Monitor
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in pressure
occurs in one or more of your vehicle's
tires by illuminating the
Pressure) warning light on the instru-
ment panel cluster. The low tire pressure
warning light will remain on until you
correct the tire pressure. A LOW TIRE
message will also appear on the DIC.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must inflate the tire to
the proper tire pressure (just as you
(StabiliTrak)
(Low Tire
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label shows the
correct tire pressure for the tires when
they're cold. "Cold" means your vehicle
has been sitting for at least three hours
or driven no more than one mile.
You can temporarily clear the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next
vehicle start-up, the DIC message will
reappear if the tire pressure has not
been corrected.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear when
the vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you start to drive. This could be
an early indicator that your tire pres-
sures are getting low and the tires need
to be inflated to the proper pressure.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but
it doesn't replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Changing a Flat Tire
The spare tire and tools are located
under the floor of the cargo area. Follow
the guidelines in your Owner Manual to
safely and properly change a tire.
SS Models
SS models have large performance
brakes. The compact spare tire will not
clear the front brakes and cannot be
used as a front tire. In the event of a flat
front tire, install the compact spare tire
in a rear wheel location and use the full-
size rear tire to replace the flat front tire.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
