Magnetic Ride Control
Your vehicle may have a feature called Magnetic Ride
Control that automatically adjusts the ride of your
vehicle. Automatic ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the suspension
system. The controller receives input from various
sensors to determine the proper system response. If the
controller detects a problem within the system, the
DIC will display a SERVICE SUSPENSION SYS
message. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-76 for more information. If this message appears,
have your vehicle serviced at your dealership.
Electronically Controlled Air Ride
Suspension
If you have a Cadillac Professional Vehicle, you may
have a feature called Electronically Controlled Air
Suspension. Air ride control is achieved through a
computer used to control and monitor the system. The
controller receives input from two height sensors to
determine the proper system response. If the controller
detects a problem with the system, the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will display a SERVICE
SUSPENSION SYS message. If this message appears,
have your vehicle serviced at your dealership.
StabiliTrak
®
System
Your vehicle may have this feature. The StabiliTrak
®
system is an advanced 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 and reducing engine power.
The StabiliTrak
®
system comes on automatically
whenever you start your vehicle. The system cannot be
turned off.
The STABILITRAK NOT READY message may be
displayed in the DIC and the traction control system and
StabiliTrak
®
warning light on the instrument panel
cluster will be on after first driving the vehicle and
exceeding 30 mph 48 (km/h) for 30 seconds. The
StabiliTrak
®
system is off until the light has turned off.
This could take up to 15 minutes.
The traction control system and StabiliTrak
®
warning
light on the instrument panel cluster will flash when the
system is operating. See Traction Control System
(TCS) Warning Light on page 3-64 and
StabiliTrak
®
Indicator Light on page 3-64 for more
information. You may also feel or hear the system
working. This is normal.
