You may feel or hear the system working, but this is

normal.

If the vehicle is in cruise control when the TCS begins

to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically

disengage. When road conditions allow safe use of

the cruise control, it can be used again. See Cruise

Control on page 3-10.

The TCS operates in all transaxle shift lever positions.

But the system can upshift the transaxle only as high as

the shift lever position that was chosen, so use the

lower gears only when necessary. See Automatic

Transaxle Operation on page 2-24.

To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road

conditions, you should always leave the TCS on. But

you can turn the system off if you ever need to. The TCS

should be turned off if the vehicle ever gets stuck in

sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is required.

See Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 4-28

and If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow

on page 4-28.

To turn the TCS on or off, press the TCS button located

directly behind the gear shift lever. If your vehicle has

a DIC, the TCS button is located above the radio.

When the TCS is turned off, the TCS warning light will

come on. It will disappear when the TCS is turned

back on. If the TCS is limiting wheel spin when the TCS

button is pressed, the TCS warning light will come on

and the TCS will turn off right away.

StabiliTrak

System

Your vehicle may be 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 system activates, a STABILITY CONTROL

ACTIVE message will be displayed on the Driver

Information Center (DIC). See DIC Warnings and

Messages on page 3-53. 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

SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message will be

displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See

DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-53. When

this message is displayed, the system is not operational.

Driving should be adjusted accordingly.

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 3-10 for more information.
