CHEVROLET Tahoe - Manual (Page 365)

The traction control part of StabiliTrak ® can be
turned off by pressing and releasing the
StabiliTrak
® button if both systems (traction control
and StabiliTrak ® ) were previously on. To disable
both traction control and StabiliTrak ® , press
and hold the button for five seconds.
Traction control and StabiliTrak ® can be turned on
by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak ® button if
not automatically shut off for any other reason.
When the TCS or StabiliTrak ® system is turned off,
the StabiliTrak ® light and the appropriate TCS
off or StabiliTrak ® off message will be displayed on
the DIC to warn the driver. Your vehicle will still
have brake-traction control when traction control is
off, but will not be able to use the engine speed
management system. See “Traction Control
Operation” next for more information.
When the traction control system has been turned
off, you may still hear system noises as a result
of the brake-traction control coming on.
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 Your Vehicle is
Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 404.
When the transfer case is in 4LO, the stability
system is automatically disabled, the StabiliTrak
®
light will come on and the STABILITRAK OFF
message will appear on the DIC. Both traction
control and StabiliTrak
® are automatically disabled
in this condition.
