However, it is better to turn off stability control and traction control at times, especially when you are in a situation where your car is stuck. Thus, the motion of the tires can be reduced appropriately so that the vehicle moves in your intended direction. While driving, if your vehicle begins to fishtail and moves in a direction opposite to the steering wheel direction, the StabiliTrak will engage the car’s outside brakes. This helps the car not to sway or move drastically away from its drive lane during a quick turning of the steering wheel. And it will quickly activate in the brake’s most effective side to help prevent skidding automatically.
The StabiliTrak system works by using speed sensors and steering angle sensors to help enhance the effectiveness of your car’s steering wheels and tires when compared to the driver’s intention.įor instance, if you are driving on a slippery (snowy) road and your car begins to fishtail, the StabiliTrak system will sense the driver’s intended direction using the tilt angle of the steering wheel.
While the traction control system helps to limit the degree of power distributed to the various wheels of your car to avoid tire slippage, StabiliTrak enables your vehicle to control the turning effect more precisely, irrespective of the road condition. However, it performs a different function compared to the traction control system. StabiliTrak is an electronic stability control system that is similar to the traction control system (TCS) of a car to a certain extent.
