The StabiliTrak 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 until STABILITRAK OFF is displayed
on the DIC and the StabiliTrak light comes on the
instrument panel.

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 traction control or StabiliTrak system is turned
off, the StabiliTrak light and the appropriate traction
control off or StabiliTrak off message will be displayed on
the DIC to warn the driver. The 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,
there may be 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 the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or
snow, and you want to “rock” the 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 4-39.

When the transfer case is in Four-Wheel-Low Lock, 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.
