GMC 2005 Automobile User Manual


 
SERVICE RIDE CONTROL
If a problem occurs with the suspension system, this
message will appear on the DIC. If the message appears
turn off the vehicle. Restart the vehicle and check for the
message on the DIC display. If the message is still
displayed or appears again when you begin driving, the
ride control needs service. See your GM dealer. Pressing
any of the four DIC buttons, if equipped, will acknowledge
the message and clear it from the DIC display. If your
vehicle is not equipped with the four DIC buttons,
pressing the trip odometer reset stem will acknowledge
the message and clear it from the DIC display.
SERVICE STABILITY
If you ever see the SERVICE STABILITY message, it
means there may be a problem with your StabiliTrak
®
system. If you see this message, try to reset the system.
Stop; turn off the engine; then start the engine again. If
the SERVICE STABILITY message still comes on, it
means there is a problem. You should see your
GM dealer for service. The vehicle is safe to drive,
however, you do not have the benefit of StabiliTrak
®
,so
reduce your speed and drive accordingly. Pressing any of
the four DIC buttons, if equipped, will acknowledge the
message and clear it from the DIC display. If your vehicle
is not equipped with the four DIC buttons, pressing the
trip odometer reset stem will acknowledge the message
and clear it from the DIC display.
SERVICE TIRE MONITOR
If your vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System, this message will be displayed if one or
more of the tire monitor sensors have malfunctioned
or if all of the tire monitor sensors have not been
programmed successfully. See your GM dealer.
Pressing any of the four DIC buttons, if equipped, will
acknowledge the message and clear it from the
DIC display. If your vehicle is not equipped with the
four DIC buttons, pressing the trip odometer reset stem
will acknowledge the message and clear it from the
DIC display. The message will reappear at each ignition
cycle until the system has been serviced.
STABILITY SYS ACTIVE
You may see the STABILITY SYS ACTIVE message on
the DIC. It means that an advanced computer-controlled
system has come on to help your vehicle continue to
go in the direction in which you are steering. StabiliTrak
®
activates when the computer senses that your vehicle
is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice
or other slippery spot on the road. When the system
activates, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the
brake pedal. This is normal. When the STABILITY
SYS ACTIVE message is on, you should continue to
steer in the direction you want to go. The system
is designed to help you in bad weather or other difficult
driving situations by making the most of whatever
road conditions will permit.
