Traction Control and StabiliTrak Systems
The traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak® stability control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started. Turn off traction control if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
Press the Traction Control/StabiliTrak Off button at the front of the center console to turn traction control on or off.

Driver Shift Control
Driver Shift Control is a manual mode that allows the driver to shift gears manually. This feature can be used to limit the top gear and vehicle speed or to downshift when driving on a downhill grade to provide engine braking.
1. Move the shift lever left to the L (Low) position.
2. Press the + (plus) or – (minus) button on the shift lever to upshift or downshift. The current gear will be displayed on the Driver Information Center.
If vehicle speed is too high or too low for the requested gear, the shift will not occur.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitor
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire pressures listed on the Tire and Loading Information label located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed in the Driver Information Center.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
