Cadillac 2008 STS Automobile User Manual


 
STABILITY COMPETITIVE MODE
If your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle has the
Active Steering with Enhanced StabiliTrak
®
option,
this message displays when the Competitive Mode
for stability control has been turned on using the
TC (traction control) button. See Enhanced StabiliTrak
®
on page 4-9. When the Enhanced StabiliTrak
®
Competitive Mode has been activated, traction control
operates in competitive mode and cannot be turned
off. Also, the Active Steering and the Magnetic
Ride Control systems operate in the Performance
Mode. For more information, see “Active Steering
and Magnetic Ride Control” in the Index in the
Navigation manual.
STABILITY SECURE MODE
If your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle has the
Active Steering with Enhanced StabiliTrak
®
option,
this message displays when the stability control system
is in the secure mode. Stability Secure Mode is set
automatically when certain system faults or vehicle
conditions are detected. When the Stability Secure
Mode is activated, the stability control system will
not respond to driver requests to change the stability
mode until the next ignition cycle or until the vehicle
condition or fault is returned to normal. See Enhanced
StabiliTrak
®
on page 4-9.
STABILITY SYS (System) ACTIVE
This message displays any time the StabiliTrak
®
system
or Enhanced StabiliTrak
®
system is actively assisting
with directional control of the vehicle. Slippery road
conditions may exist when this message is displayed,
so adjust your driving accordingly. This message
may stay on for a few seconds after StabiliTrak
®
stops assisting with directional control of the vehicle.
See StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-8 or Enhanced
StabiliTrak
®
on page 4-9 for more information.
STABILITY SYS (System) NOT READY
This message displays if the StabiliTrak
®
system is
not ready. Two conditions may cause this message
to display:
The vehicle needs to be driven in a straight line
until the sensors are centered. Once the sensors
are centered, the StabiliTrak
®
system is ready and
the STABILITY SYS READY message displays.
The system needs to warm up. This may occur
when first starting your vehicle and driving away
during cold winter weather. This is normal. To
acknowledge this message, press the reset button.
The StabiliTrak
®
performance is affected until the
STABILITY SYS READY message is displayed in the
DIC. See StabiliTrak
®
System on page 4-8 for more
information.
