For persons under 21, it is against the law in everyU.S. state to drink alcohol. There are good medical,psychological, and developmental reasons forthese laws.
The obvious way to eliminate the leading highwaysafety problem is for people never to drink alcohol andthen drive.
Medical research shows that alcohol in a person'ssystem can make crash injuries worse, especiallyinjuries to the brain, spinal cord, or heart. This meansthat when anyone who has been drinking—driver orpassenger—is in a crash, that person's chance ofbeing killed or permanently disabled is higher than ifthe person had not been drinking.
Control of a Vehicle
The following three systems help to control the vehiclewhile driving—brakes, steering, and accelerator. Attimes, as when driving on snow or ice, it is easy to askmore of those control systems than the tires and roadcan provide. Meaning, you can lose control of thevehicle. SeeStabiliTrak®System on page 6!6.
Adding non!dealer/non!retailer accessories can affectvehicle performance. SeeAccessories andModifications on page 7!4.

Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedaldown firmly and let antilock work. The brakes mightvibrate or some noise might be heard, but this isnormal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows the driver to steer and brake at the sametime. In many emergencies, steering can help morethan even the very best braking.
Brake Assist
This vehicle has a Brake Assist feature designed toassist the driver in stopping or decreasing vehiclespeed in emergency driving conditions. This featureuses the stability system hydraulic brake control moduleto supplement the power brake system under conditionswhere the driver has quickly and forcefully applied thebrake pedal in an attempt to quickly stop or slow downthe vehicle. The stability system hydraulic brake controlmodule increases brake pressure at each corner of thevehicle until the ABS activates. Minor brake pedalpulsations or pedal movement during this time is normaland the driver should continue to apply the brake pedalas the driving situation dictates The Brake Assistfeature will automatically disengage when the brakepedal is released or brake pedal pressure is quicklydecreased.
StabiliTrak®System
The vehicle has a vehicle stability enhancement systemcalled StabiliTrak. It is an advanced computer controlledsystem that assists the driver with directional control ofthe vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the computer sensesa discrepancy between the intended path and thedirection the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrakselectively applies braking pressure at any one of thevehicle's brakes to assist the driver with keeping thevehicle on the intended path.
When the vehicle is started and begins to move, thesystem performs several diagnostic checks to insurethere are no problems. The system may be heard or feltwhile it is working. This is normal and does not meanthere is a problem with the vehicle. The system shouldinitialize before the vehicle reaches 20 mph (32 km/h).In some cases, it may take approximately two miles ofdriving before the system initializes.
If cruise control is being used when StabiliTrakactivates, the cruise control automatically disengages.The cruise control can be re-engaged when roadconditions allow. SeeCruise Control on page 4!8.
