What is stabilitrak?

Stabilitrak is a vehicle stability control system that helps improve vehicle stability and control by automatically adjusting the engine power and applying the brakes to individual wheels when necessary. It is designed to help keep the vehicle on its intended path during slippery road conditions, abrupt maneuvers, or emergency situations.

Stabilitrak works by utilizing sensors to monitor the vehicle's speed, steering angle, and lateral acceleration. If the system detects that the vehicle is not responding as intended, it will intervene by selectively applying the brakes to individual wheels and adjusting the engine power to help maintain vehicle stability.

Stabilitrak is typically integrated with the vehicle's anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system to provide comprehensive vehicle stability control. The system is designed to work seamlessly in the background, requiring no input from the driver to operate.

Overall, Stabilitrak can help improve vehicle safety by reducing the risk of skidding or loss of control in challenging driving conditions. It is commonly found in modern vehicles as a standard safety feature.
