Driving and Operating 9-27
Automatic EPB Release
The EPB will automatically release if
the vehicle is running, placed into
gear and an attempt is made to
drive away. Avoid rapid acceleration
when the EPB is applied, to
preserve parking brake lining life.
For maximum EPB force when
towing a trailer or parking on a hill,
pull the EPB switch twice. If you are
towing a trailer and parking on a hill,
see Driving Characteristics and
Towing Tips on page 9‑39.
Ride Control Systems
Traction Control
System (TCS)
The vehicle has a Traction Control
System (TCS) that limits wheel spin.
This is useful in slippery road
conditions. The system operates
only if it senses that any of the drive
wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens,
TCS applies the brakes to limit
wheel spin and also reduces engine
power. The system may be heard or
felt while it is working, but this is
normal.
This light will flash when TCS is
limiting wheel spin.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if the vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow.
See If the Vehicle Is Stuck on
page 9‑9.
The TCS/StabiliTrak button is on the
instrument panel.
To turn off and on TCS, press and
release the StabiliTrak button
g.
The appropriate message displays
on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Ride Control System
Messages on page 5‑32.
If the system is limiting wheel spin
when the button is pressed, the
system will not turn off.
