Buick 2006 Rainier - Manual (Page 173)

STABILITRAK OFF
The STABILITRAK OFF message will be displayed
when you press the StabiliTrak
® button for more than
five seconds or when stability control has been
automatically disabled. The StabiliTrak
® button is
located on the transmission shift handle. To limit wheel
spin and realize the full benefits of the stability
enhancement system, you should normally leave
StabiliTrak
® on. However, you should turn StabiliTrak ®
off if your vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, ice, or
snow and you want to rock your vehicle to attempt to
free it, or if you are driving in extreme off-road conditions
and require more wheel spin. See If Your Vehicle is
Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-44. To turn
the StabiliTrak
® system back on, press the StabiliTrak ®
button again.
The message may be displayed if the brake system
warning light is on. See Brake System Warning Light
on page 3-33.
The message will turn off as soon as the conditions
that caused the message to be displayed are no
longer present.
TIGHTEN FUEL CAP
If the vehicle’s fuel cap is not tightened properly, this
message may appear on the DIC and a chime will
sound. Fully reinstall the fuel cap. See Filling the Tank
on page 5-8. The diagnostic system can determine
if the fuel cap has been left off or improperly installed.
A loose or missing fuel cap will allow fuel to evaporate
into the atmosphere. The DIC message will remain
on until the message is cancelled with the return button
on the steering wheel. The DIC message will also be
cancelled if the ignition is turned off.
The DIC message and the Service Engine Soon light
may come on again during a second trip if the fuel cap
is still not tightened properly. See Malfunction Indicator
Lamp on page 3-36 for more information.
TRACTION CONTROL OFF
The TRACTION CONTROL OFF message will be
displayed when you momentarily press the StabiliTrak
®
button located on the transmission shift handle. In
this mode, stability control and the brake-traction control
are functional. Engine speed management will be
modified and the driven wheels can spin more freely.
For more details on this mode, see StabiliTrak
® System
on page 4-9.
