StabiliTrak

patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road. When
the system activates, you may hear a noise or feel
a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal. When the

ice or snow and you want to “rock” your vehicle to attempt
to free it, or if you are driving in extreme off-road

other systems, and even damage them. Your
vehicle’s systems may interfere with the operation
of sound equipment that has been added.
Notice:The chime signals related to seat belts,
parking brake, and other functions of your vehicle
