The vehicle has the StabiliTrak system, an advanced computer controlled system that helps the driver maintain directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. This is accomplished by selectively applying any one of the vehicle's brakes and reducing power. The Stabilitrak system comes on automatically whenever the vehicle is started.

The STABILITRAK NOT READY message may be displayed in the Driver Information Center (DIC) and the StabiliTrak/Traction Control System (TCS) warning light will come on the instrument panel cluster after first driving the vehicle and exceeding 30 mph 48 (km/h) for 30 seconds. The StabiliTrak system is off until the light has turned off. This could take up to 15 minutes. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.

The StabiliTrak/TCS warning light on the instrument panel cluster will flash when the system is operating.

The system may be heard or felt while it is working. This is normal. This light may also come on after extended heavy braking, indicating the brakes have become too hot to limit wheel spin.

StabiliTrak can be turned off using the StabiliTrak/TCS control button.

To disable StabiliTrak, press and hold the traction control button until the StabiliTrak/TCS warning light comes on the instrument panel. StabiliTrak can be activated again by pressing the StabiliTrak/TCS button.

The SERVICE STABILITRAK message will be displayed and the StabiliTrak/TCS warning light on the instrument panel cluster will come on if there is a problem with the system. When this light and the SERVICE STABILITRAK message are on, the system is not operational. Adjust your driving accordingly.
