StabiliTrak
®
System
The StabiliTrak
®
System is a computer controlled
system that helps the driver maintain directional control
of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. This is
accomplished by selectively applying any one of the
vehicle’s brakes.
When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive
away (6 mph (10 km/h)), especially during cold weather,
the message STABILITRAK WARMING may be
displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC), the
instrument panel cluster light will be on, and a chime
will sound. This is normal. You can acknowledge
this message by pressing the RESET button.
The StabiliTrak
®
System performance is affected until
the message, STABILITRAK READY, is displayed in the
DIC. This can take up to 15 minutes.
The WAIT FOR STABILITRAK message may be
displayed in the DIC after exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h)
for 10 seconds if the steering is not centered.
The system is off until the STABILITRAK ACTIVE
message is displayed.
The STABILITRAK ACTIVE message will come on
when the system is operating. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-63 for more information. You
may also feel or hear the system working. This
is normal.
The instrument panel
cluster light will come on
and a chime will sound
to let you know if there is a
problem with the system.
The SERVICE STABILITRAK message will also be
displayed. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-63 for more information.
When this light and the SERVICE STABILITRAK
message are on, the system is not operational.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
