The STABILITRAK NOT READY message may be
displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC) and the
Traction Control System (TCS)/StabiliTrak warning light
on the instrument panel cluster comes on after first
driving the vehicle and exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h) for
30 seconds. The StabiliTrak system is off until the light
has turned off. This could take up to 15minutes.
The TCS/StabiliTrak warning light on the instrument
panel cluster will flash when the system is operating.

for more information. The system may be
heard or felt while it is working. This is normal.
The SERVICE STABILITRAK message is displayed
and the TCS/StabiliTrak warning light on the instrument
panel cluster comes on if there is a problem with
the system. When this light and the SERVICE
STABILITRAK message are on, the system is not
working. Adjust your driving accordingly.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery
road conditions. The system operates only if it senses
that the front wheels are spinning too much or
beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system works the front brakes and reduces engine
power (by closing the throttle and managing engine
spark) to limit wheel spin.
The TCS and StabiliTrak
®
light will flash when the
system is limiting
wheel spin.
The system may be heard or felt while it is working,
but this is normal. See Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning Light
on page 4‑52
for more information.
If the vehicle is in cruise control when TCS begins to
limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. The cruise control may be re-engaged when
road conditions allow. See Cruise Control on page 4‑11.
The SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL message in the
DIC and the TCS/StabiliTrak warning light comes on
if there is a problem with the traction control system.
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑66.
When this light and the SERVICE TRACTION
CONTROL message are on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
