STABILITY SYS ACTIVE
You may see the STABILITY SYS ACTIVE message on

system has come on to help your vehicle continue to
go in the direction in which you are steering.
StabiliTrak
®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 activates, you may hear a noise or feel
a vibration in the brake pedal. This is normal. When the
STABILITY SYS 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.
STABILITY SYS DISABLED
The STABILITY SYS DISABLED message will turn on
when you press the StabiliTrak®button or when the
stability control has been automatically disabled. To limit
wheel spin and realize the full benets 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. SeeIf Your
Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on page 4-49.
To turn the StabiliTrak
®system back on, press the
StabiliTrak®button again.
There are several conditions that can cause this

system warning light is on. SeeBrake System
Warning Light on page 3-43.
The message could be displayed if the stability
system takes longer than usual to complete its
diagnostic checks due to driving conditions.

If an engine or vehicle related problem has been
detected and the vehicle needs service, the
message will appear. See your GM dealer.
The message will also appear if the vehicle is
shifted into 4LO.

caused the message to be displayed are no longer
present.

message may appear along with the check engine light
on the instrument panel. SeeMalfunction Indicator Lamp
on page 3-48. Reinstall the fuel cap, making sure to fully
install the cap. SeeFilling 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. A few
driving trips with the cap properly installed should turn the
light and message off.
TRACTION ACTIVE
When the traction control system has detected that any
of the vehicle’s wheels are spinning, the traction
control system will activate and this message will appear
on the DIC. For more information, seeTraction Assist
System (TAS) on page 4-8.
TRACTION SYS LIMITED

or if the brakes have heated up due to high-speed
braking, brake traction control will be displayed and the
TRACTION SYS LIMITED message will be displayed.
The system will return to normal operation after the
brakes have cooled.
TRANS HOT IDLE ENGINE
If the transmission uid in the vehicle gets hot, this
message will appear on the DIC and you will hear a
chime. The chime will stop when the transmission uid
temperature is less that 265°F (129°C). Driving with
the transmission uid temperature high can cause
damage to the vehicle. Stop the vehicle and let it idle to
allow the transmission to cool. This message will
clear when the uid temperature reaches a safe level.
SeeTransmission Temperature Gage on page 3-46.
Notice:If you drive your vehicle while the
transmission uid is overheating and the
transmission temperature warning is displayed on
the instrument panel cluster and/or DIC, you
can damage the transmission. This could lead to
costly repairs that would not be covered by
your warranty. Do not drive your vehicle with
overheated transmission uid or while transmission
temperature warning is displayed.

XM™ Satellite Radio Service capabilities (if equipped).
For information on how to use this system, see the
“Navigation System” manual.
Rear Seat Entertainment System
Your vehicle may have a DVD Rear Seat Entertainment
(RSE) system. The RSE system includes a DVD
player, a video display screen, two sets of wireless
headphones, and a remote control.
Parental Control
This button is located behind the video screen. Press
this button while a DVD or CD is playing to freeze
the video and mute the audio. The video screen will

Before You Drive
The RSE system is for rear seat passengers only.
The driver cannot safely view the video screen while
driving and should not try to do so.
Headphones
The RSE system includes two sets of wireless
headphones.
Each set of headphones has an ON/OFF control.
An indicator light will illuminate on the headphones when
they are on. If the light does not illuminate, the
batteries may need to be replaced. See “Battery
Replacement” following for more information.
Each set of headphones has a volume knob. To adjust
the volume, adjust this knob.
The transmitters are located below the video display
screen. The headphones will shut off automatically
if they lose the signal from the system after about four
minutes to save battery power. The signal may be lost if
the system is turned off or if the headphones are out
of range of the transmitters.
When using the wired headphones, if the front seat
passengers play a CD in the Radio with Six-Disc CD (if
equipped) or use XM™ Satellite Radio Service (if
equipped), you will hear the audio for these sources,
instead of the DVD or CD that is currently playing
through the RSE.
3-118

Notice:Do not store the headphones in heat or
direct sunlight. This could damage the headphones
and repairs would not be covered by your warranty.
Keep the headphones stored in a cool, dry place.
Battery Replacement
