What is StabiliTrak®, Anyway?

StabiliTrak® is the the perfect name for this Electronic Stability Control System designed to keep your vehicle stable and on track, vastly improving safety in a variety of situations. Standard on all Chevrolet vehicles, StabiliTrak® helps drivers be more confident, especially in low-traction, uncertain driving situations.

StabiliTrak® Benefits

This system takes a lot of the stress out of driving when you feel like you don’t have as much control of your vehicle. Benefits include:

• More control when you don’t have as much traction, like in ice, snow, rain, and on loose dirt and uneven pavement
• Smooth stability during sudden lane changes or actions to avoid other cars or obstacles
• Reliable assistance to help keep you on your intended path, including automatic reduction of engine power and braking
• Help avoiding collisions, thanks to increased stability and control

How Does StabiliTrak® Work?

Chevrolet’s goal is to help you avoid collisions completely, and StabiliTrak® is a great example of proactive technology that is always working behind the scenes to protect you and your passengers. The system is engineered to monitor and compare your steering input with the way the vehicle is actually responding. Its control module manages that function and springs into action via minute engine torque and braking applications if it determines that you’re losing lateral traction. There’s no need for you to engage the system.

StabiliTrak® In Action

Here’s an example of how StabiliTrak® works. Let’s say your car begins to fishtail on a slick, wet road. The system would sense the back end losing traction and control, and it would automatically apply the outside front brake to counteract that motion and put your vehicle back on track. Or, maybe you’re trying to make a turn on a slippery road, and your car doesn’t respond. StabiliTrak® would automatically apply the inside front brake and return your car to your intended path.
