2004 CADILLAC SRX cruise control

Stabilitrak®System
Your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability
enhancement system called Stabilitrak®.Itisan
advanced computer controlled system that assists you
with directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.
Stabilitrak
®activates when the computer senses a
discrepancy between your intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually traveling. Stabilitrak
®
selectively applies braking pressure at any one of
the vehicle’s brakes to help steer the vehicle in the
direction which you are steering.
When the system activates, a Stability System Engaged
message will be displayed on the Driver Information
Center. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-64.
You may also hear a noise or feel vibration in the
brake pedal. This is normal. Continue to steer the
vehicle in the direction you want it to go.
If there is a problem detected with Stabilitrak
®, a Service
Stability System message will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-64. When this message is displayed, the
system is not operational. Driving should be adjusted
accordingly.Stabilitrak
®comes on automatically whenever you start
your vehicle. To help assist you with directional
control of the vehicle, you should always leave the
system on. You can turn Stabilitrak
®off if you ever
need to through the TC (traction control) on/off button.
SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on page 4-9.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the Stabilitrak
®
activates, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, you may reengage the cruise control.
See “Cruise Control” underTurn Signal/Multifunction
Lever on page 3-8for more information.
Panic Brake Assist
Your vehicle has a panic brake assist system that
monitors the intention of the driver while braking. If the
system senses that the driver has applied hard/fast
pressure to the brake pedal, the system will generate
additional pressure, making it easier for the driver
to maintain brake application. When this happens the
brake pedal will feel easier to push. Just hold the brake
pedal down rmly and let the system work for you.
You may feel the brakes vibrate, or you may notice
some noise but this is normal. The brakes will return
to normal operation after the brake pedal has been
released.
