This message displays when the pressure in one or more
of the vehicle’s tires needs to be checked. This message

message at a time. To read the other messages that may
have been sent at the same time, press the set/reset
button. If a tire pressure message appears on the DIC,
stop as soon as you can. Have the tire pressures
checked and set to those shown on the Tire Loading

Vehicle on page 4-33, andInflation - Tire Pressure on
page 5-59. The DIC also shows the tire pressure values.

pressure is low, the low tire pressure warning light comes
on. SeeTire Pressure Light on page 3-41.

Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Your vehicle may have this feature. A limited-slip rear
axle can give you additional traction on snow, mud, ice,
sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of
the time, but when one of the rear wheels has no
traction and the other does, this feature will allow the
wheel with traction to move the vehicle.
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 stability control system activates, the
traction control system and StabiliTrak
®light will
ash on the instrument panel cluster. This also
occurs when traction control is activated.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 STABILITRAK message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-53. 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. A STABILITRAK OFF
message will appear in the DIC when it has been turned
off. SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on page 4-5.
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 on page 3-12for more information.
