Pressing any of the DIC control buttons will remove
the messages or warnings from the DIC display.

SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM – 54: If you ever see
the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message, it
means there may be a problem with your stability
enhancement system. If you see this message, try to
reset the system: stop, turn off the engine, then start the
engine again. If the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM
message still comes on, it means there is a problem.
You should see your GM dealer for service. Reduce
your speed and drive accordingly.

STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE – 55: You may see the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message. It means
that an advanced, computer-controlled system has come
on to help your vehicle continue to go in the direction
in which you are steering. This stability enhancement
system activates when the computer senses that
your vehicle is just starting to spin, as it might if you hit
a patch of ice or other slippery spot on the road.
When the system is on, you may hear a noise or feel a
vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal.

When the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message is on,
you should continue to steer in the direction you want
to go. The system is designed to help you in bad
weather or other difficult driving situations by making the
most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on, you
will know that something has caused your vehicle to
start to spin, so you should consider slowing down.
