In this state, engine power is not reduced automatically
and the driven wheels can spin more freely. This
can cause the brake-traction control to activate
constantly. For more information on the traction active
message, see Driver Information Center (DIC) on
page
3-47.
Notice:
If
the traction
off
light comes on due to
heavy braking and/or because the traction control
system has been continuously active, do not
allow the wheel@) of one axle to spin excessively.
If you do, you may be causing damage to your
transfer case. This could lead to costly repairs not
covered by your warranty.
If the brake-traction control system activates constantly
or
if
the brakes have heated up due to high speed
braking, the brake-traction control will be automatically
disabled. The system will come back on after the
brakes have cooled. This can take up to two minutes or
longer depending on brake usage.
Notice:
Don’t allow the wheel(s) of one axle to spin
excessively when the traction
off,
ABS and brake
lights are on and the SERVICE STABILITY MESSAGE
is
displayed.
In
this
situation, damage to the
transfer case
is
possible. This could lead to costly
repairs not covered by your warranty. You should
immediately reduce engine power until the
lights
and messages are no longer displayed.
The traction control system may activate
on
dry or
rough roads or under conditions such as heavy
acceleration while turning or abrupt upshifts/downshifts
of the transmission. When this happens you may
notice a reduction in acceleration, or may hear a noise
or vibration. This is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the system
activates, the STABILITY SYS ACTIVE message will
appear on the Driver Information Center and the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to use cruise again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. See “Cruise Control” under
Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever on page
3-7
Stabilitrak@ may also turn
off
automatically
if
it
determines that a problem exists with the system. If the
problem does not clear itself after restarting the
vehicle, you should see your dealer for service.
