Pontiac 2006 G6 - Manual (Page 232)

When you turn the system off, the Enhanced Traction
System warning light will come on and stay on. If
the Enhanced Traction System is limiting wheel spin
when you press the button to turn the system off,
the warning light will come on – but the system won’t
turn off right away. It will wait until there’s no longer
a current need to limit wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. The Enhanced Traction
System warning light should go off.
StabiliTrak
®
System
Your vehicle may be equipped with a vehicle stability
enhancement system called StabiliTrak
® . It is an
advanced computer controlled system that assists you
with directional control of the vehicle in difficult
driving conditions.
StabiliTrak ® activates when the computer senses a
discrepancy between your intended path and the
direction the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrak
®
selectively applies braking pressure at any one of
the vehicle’s brakes to help steer the vehicle in the
direction which you are steering.
This symbol will appear
when the StabiliTrak
®
system is activated.
When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive
away, the system performs several diagnostic checks to
insure 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.
A STABIL NOT READY message may appear on the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-48 for
more information. When this message is displayed, the
system is not operational. Adjust your driving
accordingly.
When the system is on,
this warning light, located
on the instrument panel
cluster, will come on to let
you know if there’s a
problem, or if the system
has been turned off.
