STABILITY SYS (System) ACTIVE The STABILITY SYS ACTIVE message will display any time Stabilitrak® is actively assisting you with directional control of the vehicle. Slippery road conditions may exist when this message is displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly. This message may stay on for a few seconds after Stabilitrak® stops assisting you with directional control of the vehicle. See Stabilitrak® System on page 4-10 for more information. The Stabilitrak® performance is affected until the STABILITY SYS READY message is displayed in the DIC. See Stabilitrak® System on page 4-10 for more information. STABILITY SYS (System) OFF The STABILITY SYS OFF message will display any time you turn off Stabilitrak® using the TC (traction control) on/off button. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-8 for more information. When this message has been displayed, Stabilitrak® is no longer available to assist you with directional control of the vehicle. Adjust your driving accordingly. See Stabilitrak® System on page 4-10 for more information. STABILITY SYS (System) NOT READY The STABILITY SYS NOT READY message will display if Stabilitrak® is not ready. Two conditions may cause this message to display. The first condition may be that the vehicle needs to be driven in a straight line for approximately 30-40 ft (9-12 m) until the sensors are centered. Once the sensors are centered, the Stabilitrak® system will be ready and the STABILITY SYS READY message will display. The second condition that may cause this message to display is when you first start your vehicle and drive away during cold winter weather. This is normal. The system needs to warm up. You can acknowledge this message by pressing the reset button. STABILITY SYS (System) READY The STABILITY SYS READY message will display any time you turn back on Stabilitrak® using the TC (traction control) on/off button. See Traction Control System (TCS) on page 4-8 for more information. When this message has been displayed, Stabilitrak® is ready to assist you with directional control of the vehicle if needed. See Stabilitrak® System on page 4-10 for more information. 3-84
