Cadillac 2007 SRX Automobile User Manual


 
If there is a problem detected with StabiliTrak
®
,a
SERVICE STABILITRAK message will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 220. When
this message is displayed, the system is not
operational. Driving should be adjusted
accordingly.
StabiliTrak
®
comes on automatically whenever you
start your vehicle. To help assist you with
directional control of the vehicle, you should
always leave the system on. You can turn
StabiliTrak
®
off if you ever need to through the TC
(traction control) on/off button. A STABILITRAK
OFF message will appear in the DIC when it has
been turned off. See Traction Control System
(TCS) on page 281.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the
StabiliTrak
®
activates, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions
allow you to safely use it again, you may reengage
the cruise control. See Cruise Control on
page 174 for more information.
Panic Brake Assist
Your vehicle has a panic brake assist system that
monitors the intention of the driver while braking.
If the system senses that the driver has applied
hard/fast pressure to the brake pedal, the system
will generate additional pressure, making it
easier for the driver to maintain brake application.
When this happens the brake pedal will feel
easier to push. Just hold the brake pedal down
firmly and let the system work for you. You
may feel the brakes vibrate, or you may notice
some noise but this is normal. The brakes
will return to normal operation after the brake
pedal has been released.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System
If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, engine
power is sent to all four wheels all the time. This
is like four-wheel drive, but it is fully automatic.
