Buick 2007 Rainier - Manual (Page 291)

STABILITRAK OFF — The driver can turn off
StabiliTrak
® by pressing the StabiliTrak ® button for
more than five seconds. The StabiliTrak ® light will
come on and STABILITRAK OFF will be displayed.
For vehicles without a DIC, the StabiliTrak
®
indicator light will come on. Momentarily pressing
the StabiliTrak
® button again will return the system
to the STABILITRAK ON mode. See StabiliTrak ®
Off below for more information.
Traction Control Off
In this mode, stability control and brake-traction
control are functional. Engine speed management
will be modified and the driven wheels can spin
more freely. This can cause the brake-traction
control to activate more frequently. If the controller
detects excessive wheel spin in this mode, the
StabiliTrak
® indicator light may blink and the
STABILITRAK ACTIVE message may be displayed
to warn the driver that damage may occur to the
transfer case.
StabiliTrak ® Off
In this mode, both stability control and part of the
traction control system are disabled. Your vehicle
will still have brake-traction control, but will not be
able to use the engine speed management system.
You may still hear system noises as a result of the
brake-traction control coming on. If the controller
detects excessive wheel spin in this mode, the
StabiliTrak
® indicator light may blink and the
STABILITRAK ACTIVE message may be displayed
to warn the driver that damage may occur to the
transfer case.
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 may want to “rock” your
vehicle in an 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 329 for more
information.
