MILES RANGE (km RANGE)
This display shows the approximate number of
remaining miles (mi) or kilometers (km) you can drive
without relling the fuel tank. This estimate is based
on the current driving conditions and will change if the
driving conditions change. For example, if you are driving
in traffic making frequent stops, the display may read one
number, but if you enter the freeway, the number may
change even though you still have the same amount of
fuel in the fuel tank. This is because different driving
conditions produce different fuel economies. Generally,
freeway driving produces better fuel economy than city
driving.
Once the range drops below about 40 miles (64 km)
remaining, the display will show LOW RANGE.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, the Fuel Level Low
message will be displayed. See “Fuel Level Low”
underDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-79
for more information.
MPG AVG (L/100 km AVG)
This display shows the approximate average miles per
gallon (mpg) or liters per 100 kilometers (L/100 km).
This number is calculated based on the number of
mpg (L/100 km) recorded since the last time this display
was reset. To reset MPG AVG, press the reset button.
The display will return to zero.
MPG INST (L/100 km INST)
This display shows the current fuel economy. This
number reects only the fuel economy that the vehicle
has right now and will change frequently as driving
conditions change. Unlike average fuel economy, this
display cannot be reset.
GAL FUEL USED (L FUEL USED)
This display shows the number of gallons (gal) or
liters (L) of fuel used since the last reset of this display.
To reset GAL FUEL USED, press the reset button.
The display will return to zero.
AVG MPH (AVG km/h)
This display shows the average speed of the vehicle
in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
This average is calculated based on the various vehicle
speeds recorded since the last reset of this display.
To reset AVG MPH, press the reset button. The display
will return to zero.
HUD Speed Advisor ON/OFF
(On Vehicles with HUD)
If the vehicle has HUD, you can choose to have the
Speed Limit/Speed Advisory display appear in the HUD.
The DIC will toggle between ON and OFF. Press the
reset button to make your selection. SeeHead-Up
Display (HUD) on page 3-43for more information.

STABILITY COMPETITIVE MODE
If your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle has the Active
Steering with Enhanced StabiliTrak option, this message
displays when the Competitive Mode for stability control
has been turned on using the TC (traction control) button.
SeeEnhanced StabiliTrak
®on page 4-6for more
information. When the Enhanced StabiliTrak Competitive
Mode has been activated, traction control operates in
competitive mode and cannot be turned off. Also, the
Active Steering and the Magnetic Ride Control systems
operate in the Performance Mode. For more information,
see “Active Steering and Magnetic Ride Control” in the
Index in the Navigation manual.
STABILITY SECURE MODE
If your All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicle has the Active
Steering with Enhanced StabiliTrak option, this message
displays when the stability control system is in the
secure mode. Stability Secure Mode is set automatically
when certain system faults or vehicle conditions are
detected. When the Stability Secure Mode is activated,
the stability control system will not respond to driver
requests to change the stability mode until the next
ignition cycle or until the vehicle condition or fault
is returned to normal. SeeEnhanced StabiliTrak
®
on page 4-6for more information.
STABILITY SYS (System) ACTIVE
This message displays any time the StabiliTrak system
or Enhanced StabiliTrak system is actively assisting
with directional control of the vehicle. Slippery road
conditions may exist when this message is displayed,
so adjust your driving accordingly. This message
may stay on for a few seconds after StabiliTrak
stops assisting with directional control of the vehicle.
SeeStabiliTrak
®System on page 4-6orEnhanced
StabiliTrak®on page 4-6for more information.
STABILITY SYS (System) NOT READY
This message displays if the StabiliTrak system is
not ready. Two conditions may cause this message
to display:
The vehicle needs to be driven in a straight line
until the sensors are centered. Once the sensors
are centered, the StabiliTrak system is ready
and the STABILITY SYS READY message displays.
The system needs to warm up. This may occur
when rst starting your vehicle and driving away
during cold winter weather. This is normal.
To acknowledge this message, press the
reset button.
The StabiliTrak performance is affected until the
STABILITY SYS READY message is displayed in the
DIC. SeeStabiliTrak
®System on page 4-6for more
information.

ABS can change the brake pressure to each wheel, as
required, faster than any driver could. This can help
you steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As you brake, the computer keeps receiving updates on
wheel speed and controls braking pressure accordingly.
Remember: ABS does not change the time you need to
get your foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, you will not have time to apply the brakes
if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave
enough room up ahead to stop, even though you
have ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal
down rmly and let antilock work for you. You might
hear the antilock pump or motor operate, and feel the
brake pedal pulsate, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
With ABS, you can steer and brake at the same time.
In many emergencies, steering can help more than even
the very best braking.
Brake Assist
This vehicle has a Brake Assist feature designed to
assist the driver in stopping or decreasing vehicle speed
in emergency driving conditions. This feature uses the
stability system hydraulic brake control module to
supplement the power brake system under conditions
where the driver has quickly and forcefully applied the
brake pedal in an attempt to quickly stop or slow down
the vehicle. The stability system hydraulic brake control
module increases brake pressure at each corner of the
vehicle until the ABS activates. Minor brake pedal
pulsations or pedal movement during this time is normal
and the driver should continue to apply the brake pedal
as the driving situation dictates The Brake Assist feature
will automatically disengage when the brake pedal is
released or brake pedal pressure is quickly decreased.
