System Operation
The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS)
and StabiliTrak / Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), an electronic stability control system.
These systems help limit wheel slip and assist
the driver in maintaining control, especially on
slippery road conditions.
TCS activates if it senses that any of the
drive wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens, TCS applies
the brakes to the wheels that is skidding and
reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
StabiliTrak/ESC activates when the vehicle
senses adifference between the intended
path and the direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak/ESC selectively applies
braking pressure to any one of the vehicle
wheel brakes to assist the driver in keeping the
vehicle on the intended path.
If cruise control is being used and traction
c
ontrol or StabiliTrak/ESC begins to limit wheel
spin, cruise control will disengage. Cruise
control may be turned back on when road
conditions allow.
Both systems come on automatically when
the vehicle is started and begins to move.
The systems may present noise or vibration
while they are operating or while performing
diagnostic checks. This is normal and does not
mean there is aproblem with the vehicle.
It is recommended to leave both systems on
for normal driving conditions, but it may be
necessary to turn TCS off if the vehicle gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow. See If the
Vehicle Is Stuck 3 109 and “Turning the Systems
Off and On” later in this section.
The indicator light for both systems is in the
i
nstrument cluster. This light will:
•
Flash when TCS is limiting wheel spin.
•
Flash when StabiliTrak/ESC is activated.
•
T
urn on and stay on when either system is
not working.
If either system fails to turn on or to activate,
amessage displays in the Driver Information
Center (DIC), and d comes on and stays on to
indicate that the system is inactive and is not
assisting the driver in maintaining control. The
vehicle is safe to drive, but driving should be
adjusted accordingly.
If d comes on and stays on:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 seconds.
3. Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle. If d comes on and stays on,
the vehicle may need more time to diagnose
the problem. If the condition persists, see your
dealer.
