Chevrolet Silverado Owner Manual - 2011
Driving and Operating 9-71
The system should initialize before
the vehicle reaches 32 km/h
(20 mph). In some cases, it may
take approximately 3.2 km (2 miles)
of driving before the system
initializes.
If cruise control is being used when
StabiliTrak activates, the cruise
control automatically disengages.
The cruise control can be
re-engaged when road conditions
allow. See Cruise Control
on
page 9‑73
for more information.
If the system fails to turn on or
activate, the StabiliTrak light
along with one of the following
messages will be displayed on the
Driver Information Center (DIC):
TRACTION CONTROL OFF,
SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,
STABILITRAK OFF, SERVICE
STABILITRAK. If these DIC
messages appear, make sure
the StabiliTrak system has not
been turned off using the StabiliTrak
on/off button. Then turn the vehicle
off, wait 15 seconds, and turn it
back on again to reset the system.
If any of these messages still
appear on the DIC, the vehicle
should be taken in for service.
For more information on the DIC
messages, see Ride Control System
Messages on page 5‑49.
The StabiliTrak light will flash on the
instrument panel cluster when the
system is both on and activated.
The system may be heard or felt
while it is working; this is normal.
The traction control disable button
is located on the instrument panel
below the climate controls.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
part of StabiliTrak can be turned
off by pressing and releasing the
StabiliTrak button. To disable both
TCS and StabiliTrak, press and
hold
5 until F illuminates and the
appropriate DIC message displays.
TCS and StabiliTrak can be turned
on by pressing and releasing the
StabiliTrak button if they are not
automatically shut off for any other
reason.
When TCS or StabiliTrak is
turned off, the StabiliTrak light
and the appropriate message
will be displayed on the DIC to
warn the driver. The 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, system noises
may still be heard as a result of the
brake-traction control coming on.
