Your LOW TRAC (Low Traction Active) light may come on for one of the following reasons:

    • An advanced computer-controlled system called Stabilitrak® (if equipped) has come on to help your vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you're steering. This stability enhancement system 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 is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal.
        In these situations when the LOW TRAC light is on and the system is engaged, 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.
    • The optional Traction Control System is active and is limiting wheel spin. You may feel the system working, but this is normal. Slippery road conditions may exist, so adjust your driving accordingly.

If the LOW TRAC light comes on, slippery road conditions may exist, so you should consider slowing down and adjusting your driving accordingly.
