CARGO LAMP ON Message
This message is displayed
when the cargo lamps are
turned on and the ignition
key is turned to RUN.
LOW FUEL Message
This message is displayed
when your vehicle is low
on fuel.
Refer to the fuel gage for a better indication of the
amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.
SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM Message
If you ever see the
SERVICE STABILITY
SYSTEM 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 off the engine; then start the engine again).
If the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message still
comes on, it means there is a problem. You should see
your dealer for service. Reduce your speed and drive
accordingly. See ªStabilitrak Systemº in the Index.

2-116
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE Message
You may see the
STABILITY SYSTEM
ACTIVE message on the
message 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.
It also activates when it senses that your wheels are
spinning, as they might when accelerating on a road
surface that provides inadequate traction. When the
system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in
the brake pedal. This is normal. When the STABILITY
SYSTEM ACTIVE 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. See ªStabilitrak Systemº in
the Index.
STABILITY SYSTEM LIMITED Message
The STABILITY SYSTEM
LIMITED message will
turn on when you press the
Stabilitrak switch; see
ªInstrument Panelº in
the Index.
While in ªLIMITEDº mode the stability system is less
likely to activate. To limit wheel spin and realize the full
benefits of the stability enhancement system, you should
normally leave Stabilitrak in its normal operating mode
(not the LIMITED mode). However, you should put
Stabilitrak in LIMITED mode if your vehicle gets stuck
in sand, mud, ice or snow and you want to ªrockº your
vehicle to attempt to free it. See ªRocking Your Vehicleº
in the Index. To exit the LIMITED mode, press the
Stabilitrak button again. The STABILITY SYSTEM
LIMITED message will be displayed whenever the
transmission is in FIRST (1). See ªStabilitrak Systemº
in the Index.

2-117
STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED Message
The STABILITY SYSTEM
DISABLED message
indicates that the stability
enhancement system has
been temporarily disabled.
There are three conditions that can cause this message to
appear. One condition is overheating, which could
occur if the stability enhancement system activates
continuously for an extended period of time.
The STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED message will
also be displayed if the brake system warning light is on.
See ªBrake System Warning Lightº in the Index.
Finally, the message could be displayed if the stability
system takes longer than usual to complete its diagnostic
checks due to driving conditions. The STABILITY
SYSTEM DISABLED message will turn off as soon as
the conditions that caused the message to be displayed
are no longer present. See ªStabilitrak Systemº in
the Index.
Secondary Information Center (SIC)
This section explains the features of your SIC.
The SIC provides instant information about fuel,
mileage and vehicle history in addition to allowing you
to personalize certain features of your vehicle. If you
would like to skip to the section on personalizing your
vehicle, see the section under MENU.

will be reset when the RESET button is pressed.

If the RESET button is pressed and held for more
than two seconds, all of the trip computer settings
will reset starting from the last ignition cycle

trip computer when pulling out of the driveway and
does not realize it until after driving for awhile.

Pressing the arrow button again will display the ratio
of business trip computer mileage to annual mileage
as a percent.

like to personalize (the features are listed below). Each
press of the button will display a new item that can be
personalized. Use the arrow button to choose the setting
you would like to use within the chosen feature.

display the day/date.
You can just let the SIC exit the personalization
mode on its own by waiting approximately
15 seconds without touching any buttons.
The SIC will then display the day/date.

Or you can press the MENU key to move on to
the next programmable feature.
