Driving and Operating

The system should initialize before
the vehicle reaches 32 km/h
(20 mph). In some cases, it may
take approximately 3.2 km (2 miles)
of driving before the system
initializes.

If cruise control is being used when
StabiliTrak activates, the cruise
control automatically disengages.
The cruise control can be
re-engaged when road conditions
allow. See Cruise Control on
page 9‑49
.

If the system fails to turn on or
activate, the StabiliTrak light along
with one of the following messages
will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC):
TRACTION CONTROL OFF,
SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL,
STABILITRAK OFF, SERVICE
STABILITRAK. If these DIC
messages appear, make sure the
StabiliTrak system has not been

turned off using the StabiliTrak
on/off button. Then turn the vehicle
off, wait 15 seconds, and then turn it
back on again to reset the system.
If any of these messages still
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC), the vehicle should
be taken in for service. For more
information on the DIC messages,
see Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 5‑23
.

The StabiliTrak light will flash on the
instrument panel cluster when the
system is both on and activated.

The system may be heard or felt
while it is working; this is normal.

The traction control disable button is
located on the instrument panel.

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
they are not automatically shut off
for any other reason.
