Cadillac 2004 SRX - Manual (Page 261)

When the system activates, a Stability System Engaged
message will be displayed on the Driver Information
Center. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-65.
You may also hear a noise or feel vibration in the
brake pedal. This is normal. Continue to steer the
vehicle in the direction you want it to go.
If there is a problem detected with Stabilitrak ® , a
Service Stability System message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center. See
DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-65. When this message is
displayed, the system is not operational. Driving should
be adjusted accordingly.
Stabilitrak ® comes on automatically whenever you start
your vehicle. To help assist you with directional
control of the vehicle, you should always leave the
system on. You can turn Stabilitrak
® off if you ever need
to through the TC (traction control) on/off button. See
Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the Stabilitrak ®
activates, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, you may reengage the cruise control. See
“Cruise Control” under
Turn Signal/Multifunction
Lever on page 3-8 for more information.
Panic Brake Assist
Your vehicle has a panic brake assist system that
monitors the intention of the driver while braking. If the
system senses that the driver has applied hard/fast
pressure to the brake pedal, the system will generate
additional pressure, making it easier for the driver to
maintain brake application. When this happens the brake
pedal will feel easier to push. Just hold the brake pedal
down firmly and let the system work for you. You may feel
the brakes vibrate, or you may notice some noise but this
is normal. The brakes will return to normal operation after
the brake pedal has been released.
