The vehicle may have a vehicle stability enhancement system called Stabilitrak® Plus. It is an advanced computer controlled system that assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.

Stabilitrak® Plus comes on whenever the vehicle is started. It activates when the computer senses a discrepancy between the intended path and the direction the vehicle is actually traveling. Stabilitrak® Plus selectively applies braking pressure at any one of the vehicle's brakes to help control the vehicle in the steering direction.
