The traction control disable

button is located on the

instrument panel below the

climate controls.

The traction control part of StabiliTrak

can be turned

off by pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak

button

if both systems (traction control and StabiliTrak

) were

previously on. To disable both traction control and

StabiliTrak

, press and hold the button for ﬁve seconds.

Traction control and StabiliTrak

can be turned on by

pressing and releasing the StabiliTrak

button if

not automatically shut off for any other reason.

When the TCS or StabiliTrak

system is turned off, the

StabiliTrak

light and the appropriate TCS off or

StabiliTrak

off message will be displayed on the DIC to

warn the driver. Your vehicle will still have brake-traction

control when traction control is off, but will not be

able to use the engine speed management system. See

“Traction Control Operation” next for more information.

When the traction control system has been turned

off, you may still hear system noises as a result of the

brake-traction control coming on.

It is recommended to leave the system on for normal

driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn the

system off if your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or

snow, and you want to “rock” your vehicle to attempt to

free it. It may also be necessary to turn off the system

when driving in extreme off-road conditions where high

wheel spin is required. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in

Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 4-34.

When the transfer case is in 4LO, the stability system is

automatically disabled, the StabiliTrak

light will come

on and the STABILITRAK OFF message will appear on

the DIC. Both traction control and StabiliTrak

are

automatically disabled in this condition.

Traction Control Operation

The traction control system is part of the StabiliTrak

system. Traction control limits wheel spin by reducing

engine power to the wheels (engine speed

management) and by applying brakes to each individual

wheel (brake-traction control) as necessary.

The traction control system is enabled automatically

when you start your vehicle. It will activate and the

StabiliTrak

light will ﬂash if it senses that any of the

wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction while

driving. If you turn off traction control, only the

brake-traction control portion of traction control will

work. The engine speed management will be disabled.
