SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM - 54: 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.
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE - 55: You may see the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message on the Driver
Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer-controlled system has come on to help your
vehicle cmtinue 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 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. If the
STABiLiiY SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on, you’!!
know that something has caused your vehicle to start
to spin,
so you should consider slowing down.
Tire Pressure Status - 144: If you see the CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE message, you should stop as soon as
you can and check all your tires for damage. (If a tire
is flat, see
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-72.) Also check
the tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can.

inflation -- lire Pressure on page 5-62 and Check
