This light will flash on the instrument

is both on and activated.
You may also feel or hear the
system working; this is normal.
When the light is on solid and the
SERVICE STABILITRAK message
is displayed, the system will not
assist the driver in maintaining
directional control of the vehicle.
Adjust your driving accordingly. See
“Messages” under “Ride Control

The Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system is
automatically enabled whenever you
start your vehicle. To assist the
driver with vehicle directional
control, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave
the system on. But, you can turn
ESC off if you ever need to.
If the vehicle is in cruise control
when the system begins to assist
the driver maintain directional
control of the vehicle, the ESC/TCS
light will flash and the cruise control
will automatically disengage. When
road conditions allow you to use
cruise again, you may re-engage
the cruise control. See “Cruise
Control” in the owner manual.
The ESC OFF button is located on
the instrument panel.
To disable both traction control and
ESC, press and hold the button
briefly.
When the ESC OFF button is
pressed, the ESC Off light comes
on and PERFORMANCE MODE
displays in the DIC. The TCS is still
active, but limited to driveline
protection only. ESC is also active,
but is limited to high speed pursuit
purposes.
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 the Vehicle Is
Stuck” under “Driving” in the owner
manual.
