Saab 2007 9-7X - Page 272

When you first start your vehicle and begin to
drive away, the system performs several diagnostic
checks to insure there are no problems. You may
hear or feel the system working. This is normal
and does not mean there is a problem with
your vehicle. If driving conditions delay system
initialization, the STABILITRAK NOT READY
message may be displayed. If this is the case,
your vehicle does not need servicing.
For more information on the stability messages,
see DIC Warnings and Messages on page 199.
When the StabiliTrak
®
system is both on and
actively controlling
the stability of the
vehicle, the StabiliTrak
®
light will blink for the
duration of the event.
You may also feel or hear the system working.
This is normal.
The StabiliTrak
®
disable
button is located on
the transmission
shift handle.
The StabiliTrak
®
system has three modes of
operation: STABILITRAK ON, TRACTION
CONTROL OFF, and STABILITRAK OFF.
STABILITRAK ON — The vehicle will default to
STABILITRAK ON every time the driver starts the
vehicle. The StabiliTrak
®
light will be off and no
DIC messages will be displayed.
TRACTION CONTROL OFF — The driver can
modify the engine speed management system by
momentarily pressing the StabiliTrak
®
button on the
transmission shift handle. The StabiliTrak
®
light will
come on and TRACTION CONTROL OFF will be
displayed. For vehicles without a DIC, the
StabiliTrak
®
indicator light will come on.
Momentarily pressing the StabiliTrak
®
button
again will return the system to the STABILITRAK
ON mode.
