Driving and Operating 9-53
Examples of these conditions
include hard acceleration in a turn,
an abrupt upshift or downshift of the
transmission or driving on rough
roads.
If cruise control is being used when
TCS begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control automatically
disengages. The cruise control
can be re-engaged when road
conditions allow. SeeCruise Control
on page 9‑57for more information.
TRACTION FAILED appears on the
Driver information Center (DIC)
when a TCS or antilock brake
system problem has been detected
and the vehicle needs service.
When this message is on, the
system will not limit wheel spin.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
See Driver Information Center (DIC)
on page 5‑18for more information.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if the vehicle

accessories can affect the vehicle's
performance. See
Accessories and
Modifications on page 10‑3.
StabiliTrak System
The vehicle has a vehicle stability
enhancement system called
StabiliTrak. It is an advanced
computer controlled system that
assists the driver with directional
control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the
computer senses a difference
between the intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually
traveling. StabiliTrak selectively
applies braking pressure at any
one of the vehicle's brakes to assist
the driver with keeping the vehicle
on the intended path.

9-54 Driving and Operating
When the vehicle is started and
begins to move, the system
performs several diagnostic checks
to insure there are no problems.
The system may be heard or felt
while it is working. This is normal
and does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle.
If cruise control is being used when
StabiliTrak activates, the cruise
control automatically disengages.
The cruise control can be
re-engaged when road conditions
allow. SeeCruise Control
on
page 9‑57.
If there is a problem detected with
StabiliTrak, a SERVICE STAB SYS
message displays on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
Driver Information Center (DIC)
on
page 5‑18for more information.
When this message is displayed,
the system is not working. Adjust
your driving accordingly. StabiliTrak comes on automatically
whenever the vehicle is started and
resets itself at each ignition cycle.
However, when the transfer case is
placed in Four‐Wheel‐Low Lock
mode, StabiliTrak is automatically
disabled. See
Four-Wheel Drive
on
page 9‑46for more information.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if the vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow,
and it is necessary to “rock”the
vehicle to attempt to free it. See If
the Vehicle is Stuck
on page 9‑26.
This light comes on steady when
TCS has been turned off. This light

Vehicle Care 10-11
Cold Temperature Operation
If in an area of extreme cold, where
the temperature falls below−29°C
(−20°F), use either an SAE 5W-30
synthetic oil or an SAE 0W-30
engine oil. Both provide easier
cold starting for the engine at
extremely low temperatures. Always
use an oil that meets the required
specification, GM6094M. See “What
Kind of Engine Oil to Use” for more
information.
Engine Oil Additives / Engine
Oil Flushes
Do not add anything to the oil.
The recommended oils with the
starburst symbol that meet GM
standards are all that is needed
for good performance and engine
protection.
Engine oil system flushes are not
recommended and could cause
engine damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Engine Oil Life System
When to Change Engine Oil
This vehicle has a computer system
that indicates when to change the
engine oil and filter. This is based
on engine revolutions and engine
temperature, and not on mileage.
Based on driving conditions, the
mileage at which an oil change is
indicated can vary considerably. For
the oil life system to work properly,
the system must be reset every time
the oil is changed.
When the system has calculated
that oil life has been diminished,
it indicates that an oil change
is necessary. A “Change Oil”
message comes on. See Engine Oil
Messages
on page 5‑23. Change
the oil as soon as possible within
the next 1 000 km (600 miles). It is
possible that, if driving under the
best conditions, the oil life system
might not indicate that an oil change
is necessary for over a year. However, the engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once a
year and at this time the system
must be reset. Your dealer has
trained service people who will
perform this work using genuine
parts and reset the system. It is also
important to check the oil regularly
and keep it at the proper level.
If the system is ever reset
accidentally, the oil must be
changed at 5 000 km (3,000 miles)
since the last oil change.
Remember to reset the oil life
system whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil
Life System
The Engine Oil Life System
calculates when to change the
engine oil and filter based on
vehicle use. Whenever the oil is
changed, reset the system so it can
calculate when the next oil change
is required. If a situation occurs
where the oil is changed prior to a
change engine oil message being
turned on, reset the system.

10-12 Vehicle Care
After changing the engine oil, reset
the system:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUNwith the engine off.
2. Press and release the stem in the lower center of the
instrument cluster until the OIL
LIFE message is displayed.
3. Once the alternating “Oil Life”
and “Reset” messages appear,
press and hold the stem until
several beeps sound. This
confirms that the oil life system
has been reset.
4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF.
If the “Change Oil” message
comes on again and stays on for
30 seconds at the next ignition
cycle, it did not reset. The system
needs to be reset again.What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain
elements that can be unhealthy for
your skin and could even cause
cancer. Do not let used oil stay on
your skin for very long. Clean your
skin and nails with soap and water,
or a good hand cleaner. Wash or
properly dispose of clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. See the
manufacturer's warnings about the
use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the
environment. If you change your
own oil, be sure to drain all the oil
from the filter before disposal. Never
dispose of oil by putting it in the
trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of
water. Recycle it by taking it to a
place that collects used oil.
Automatic Transmission
Fluid
When to Check and Change
Automatic Transmission Fluid
A good time to check the automatic
transmission fluid level is when the
engine oil is changed.
Change the fluid and filter at the
intervals listed in Scheduled
Maintenance
on page 11‑2, and be
sure to use the transmission fluid
listed in Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 11‑8.
How to Check Automatic
Transmission Fluid
Because this operation can be a
little difficult, you may choose to
have this done at the dealer service
department.
If adding it yourself, be sure to
follow all the instructions here,
or there could be a false reading on
the dipstick.

Vehicle Care 10-33
Headlamp Aiming
The vehicle may have a visual
optical headlamp aiming system.
The aim has been preset at the
factory and should need no further
adjustment.
However, if the vehicle is damaged
in a crash, the headlamp aim may
be affected and adjustment may be
necessary.
If oncoming vehicles flash their high
beams at you, this may also mean
the vertical aim needs to be
adjusted.
It is recommended that the vehicle
is taken to your dealer for service if
the headlamps need to be re-aimed.
It is possible however, to re-aim the
headlamps as described.The vehicle should be:.Placed so the headlamps are
7.6 m (25 ft) from a light colored
wall or other flat surface.
.On a level surface which is level
all the way to a wall.
.Placed so it is at a right angle to
the wall or other flat surface.
.Clear of any snow, ice, or mud
on it.
.Fully assembled, the tires
properly inflated, and all other
work stopped while headlamp
aiming is being performed.
.Normally loaded with the spare
tire in its original location and a
full tank of fuel and one person
or 75 kg (160 lbs) sitting on the
driver seat.To adjust the vertical aim:
1. Open the hood. See
Hood
on
page 10‑5.
2. Record the distance from the ground to the aim dot on the
headlamp.

dealer/retailer.
Rotation of New Tires
To maintain ride, handling, and
performance of the vehicle, it is
important that the first rotation
service for new tires be performed
when they have 8 000 to 13 000 km
(5,000 to 8,000 miles). See Tire
Rotation on page 10‑57.
Scheduled
Maintenance
When the Change Oil Message
Displays

Engine Oilon page 10‑9. An
Emission Control Service.
When the “Change Oil” message
displays, service is required for
the vehicle as soon as possible,
within the next 1 000 km/600 miles.
If driving under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system might not
indicate the need for vehicle service
for more than a year. The engine
oil and filter must be changed at
least once a year and the oil life
system must be reset. Your dealer
has trained service technicians who
will perform this work and reset the
system. If the engine oil life system
is reset accidentally, service the
vehicle within 5 000 km/3,000 miles
since the last service. Reset the oil
