StabiliTrak
®
System
Your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability
enhancement system called StabiliTrak
®
.It
is an advanced computer controlled system that
assists you with directional control of the vehicle in
difficult driving conditions.
StabiliTrak
®
activates when the computer senses a
discrepancy between your intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually traveling.
StabiliTrak
®
selectively applies braking pressure at
any one of the vehicle’s brakes to help steer the
vehicle in the direction which you are steering.
When the system activates, a STABILITY SYS
ACTIVE message will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 264. You may also hear a
noise or feel vibration in the brake pedal. This is
normal. Continue to steer the vehicle in the
direction you want it to go.
If there is a problem detected with StabiliTrak
®
,a
SERVICE STABILITY SYS message will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 264. 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. See Traction
Control System (TCS) on page 323.
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 193 or Adaptive Cruise Control on page 197
for more information.
