applies braking pressure at any one
of the vehicle's brakes to help steer
the vehicle in the direction which

instrument cluster. A noise may be
heard or a vibration may be felt in
the brake pedal. This is normal.
Continue to steer the vehicle in the
intended direction.

StabiliTrak, the appropriate
message displays on the Driver
