Chevrolet Cruze Owners Manual: StabiliTrak® System
The vehicle has a vehicle stability enhancement system called StabiliTrak. It is an advanced computer controlled system that assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
StabiliTrak activates when the computer senses a difference between the intended path, and the direction the vehicle is actually traveling. StabiliTrak selectively applies braking pressure at any one of the vehicle's brakes to help steer the vehicle in the intended direction.
StabiliTrak is on automatically whenever the vehicle is started. To assist with directional control of the vehicle, the system should always be left on.

If there is a problem detected with StabiliTrak, SERVICE STABILITRAK is displayed
on the Driver Information Center (DIC). When this message is displayed and/or
comes on and stays on, the vehicle
