The StabiliTrak
®
light will
flash on the instrument
panel cluster when the
system is both on and
activated.
You may also feel or hear the system working; this is
normal.
The traction control disable
button is located on the
instrument panel below the
climate controls.
The traction control part of StabiliTrak
®
can be turned
off by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak
®
button if
both systems (traction control and StabiliTrak
®
) were
previously on. To disable both traction control and
StabiliTrak
®
, press and hold the button for five seconds.
Traction control and StabiliTrak
®
can be turned on by
pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak
®
button if not
automatically shut off for any other reason.
When the TCS or StabiliTrak
®
system is turned off, the
StabiliTrak
®
light and the appropriate TCS off or
StabiliTrak
®
off message will be displayed on the DIC to
warn the driver. Your vehicle will still have brake-traction
control when traction control is off, but will not be able to
use the engine speed management system. See
“Traction Control Operation” next for more information.
When the traction control system has been turned off,
you may still hear system noises as a result of the
brake-traction control coming on.
It is recommended to leave the system on for normal
driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn the
system off if your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or
snow, and you want to “rock” your vehicle to attempt to
free it. It may also be necessary to turn off the system
when driving in extreme off-road conditions where high
wheel spin is required. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in
Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 4-33.
