Cruise Control Light
The cruise light comes on whenever you set your
cruise control. SeeCruise Control on page 151
for more information.
Reduced Engine Power Light
If the check engine and reduced engine power
lights are on, the throttle may be disabled and a
noticeable reduction in the vehicle’s performance
may occur.
If the reduced engine power light is on, but there
is no reduction in performance, proceed to
your destination. The performance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle
may be driven at a reduced speed while the
reduced engine power light is on, but acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
Anytime the check engine light stays on, the
vehicle should be taken to an authorized
GM dealer as soon as possible for service.

Pressing and holding
the StabiliTrak®button
located on the
instrument panel for
more than five seconds
can turn off StabiliTrak
®
and part of the
traction control system.
For your safety, the system can only be disabled
when the vehicle speed is less than 20 mph
(32 km/h). You will hear three chimes and the
StabiliTrak
®not ready light will come on.
To turn on the StabiliTrak
®system, press the
StabiliTrak®button again. StabiliTrak®will
automatically turn back on when the vehicle speed
exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h). You will hear one chime
and the StabiliTrak
®not ready light will turn off.
When the StabiliTrak
®system has been turned off
you may still hear system noises as a result of
the brake-traction control coming on.It is recommended to leave the system on for
normal driving conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if your vehicle is stuck in sand,
mud, ice or snow, and you want to “rock” your
vehicle to attempt to free it. SeeIf Your Vehicle is
Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 260.
StabiliTrak®System Operation
The StabiliTrak®system is normally on, except
when the system is initializing or has been disabled
with the StabiliTrak
®button. The StabiliTrak®
system will automatically activate to assist the
driver in maintaining vehicle directional control in
most driving conditions. When activated, the
StabiliTrak
®system may reduce engine power to
the wheels and apply braking to individual wheels
as necessary to assist the driver with vehicle
directional control. If your vehicle is in cruise control
when the system activates, the StabiliTrak
®
indicator light on the instrument panel will flash, and
the cruise control will automatically disengage.
When the StabiliTrak
®system is no longer active,
you may re-engage the cruise control. SeeCruise
Control on page 151.
