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,
SERVICE STABILITRAK. If
these conditions are observed, 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 3-41.
The StabiliTrak light will flash on the
instrument panel cluster when the
system is both on and activated.

located on the instrument panel
below the climate controls.
The traction control part of
StabiliTrak can be turned off by
pressing and releasing the traction
control disable button.
Traction control can be turned on
by pressing and releasing the
traction control disable button if not

off message will be displayed on
the DIC to warn the driver. The

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, system noises
may be heard and felt as a result
of the brake-traction control working.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if the vehicle is
stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow, and
you want to “rock” the vehicle to
attempt to free it. It may also be
