Hummer 2008 H2 - Manual (Page 275)

You must wait for the light in the button to stop flashing
and remain illuminated before the rear axle is locked.
Notice: If you try to lock the rear axle while your
vehicle is stuck and the tires are spinning, you could
damage your vehicle’s drivetrain. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Always lock
the rear axle before attempting situations and/or
navigating terrain which could possibly cause
the vehicle to become stuck.
The locking rear axle will be disengaged when the
vehicle’s speed is greater than 40 mph (64 km/h), if the
vehicle’s battery is low and/or the transfer case is
shifted out of Four-Wheel-Low-Lock mode.
Notice: If you lock the rear axle while driving
on pavement, you could damage your vehicle’s
drivetrain. The repairs would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not use the locking rear axle
on pavement.
StabiliTrak ® System
Your vehicle has the StabiliTrak ® system which
combines Antilock brake, traction and stability control
systems and helps the driver maintain directional control
of the vehicle in most driving conditions.
When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive
away, the system performs several diagnostic checks to
ensure there are no problems. You may hear or feel
the system working. This is normal and does not mean
there is a problem with your vehicle. The system
should initialize before the vehicle reaches 20 mph
(32 km/h). In some cases, it may take approximately
two miles of driving before the system initializes.
If the system fails to turn on or activate, the StabiliTrak ®
light along with one of the following messages will be
displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC):
TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE TRACTION
CONTROL, STABILITRAK OFF, SERVICE
STABILITRAK. If these DIC messages appear, make
sure the StabiliTrak
® system has not been turned
off using the StabiliTrak ® on/off button. If this clears
the message(s), your vehicle does not need servicing.
If this does not clear the message(s), then turn the
vehicle off, wait 15 seconds, and then turn it back on
again to reset the system. If any of these messages still
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC), your
vehicle should be taken in for service. For more
information on the DIC messages, see Driver
Information Center (DIC) on page 3-49.
