STABILITY ENGAGED
-
55:
You may see the
STABILITY ENGAGED message on the Driver
Information Center. It means that
an
advanced,
computer-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you’re
steering. This stability enhancement system activates
when the computer senses that your vehicle is just
starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or
other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on,
you may hear- a noise or feel a vibration
in
the brake
pedal.
This
is normal.
When the STABILITY
SYS
ENGAGED message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want to
go. The system is designed to help you in bad weather or
other difficult driving situations by making the most of
whatever road conditions will permit. If the STABILITY
SYS
ENGAGED message comes on, you’ll
know
that
something has caused your vehicle to start to spin,
so
you should consider slowing down.

SERV STABILITY SYS message, it means there may
be a problem with your stability enhancement system. If
you see
this
message, try
to
reset the system (stop; turn

the engine; then start the engine again).
If
the SERV
STABILITY
SYS
message still comes on, it means there
is
a problem. You should see your dealer for service.
Reduce your speed and drive accordingly.
