StabiliTrak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
StabiliTrak is General Motors' trademark name for their Electronic Stability Control system. Introduced in 1997 Cadillac models, the system is now available on many of the company's cars and trucks. The StabiliTrak Control System will be standard equipment on all GM SUVs and vans sold in the U.S. and Canada by 2007 except for the 2007 Chevrolet Aveo, 2007 Chevrolet Optra and 2007 Chevrolet Epica and some commercial and fleet vehicles.
StabiliTrak uses sensors to detect the difference between the steering wheel angle and the direction you're actually turning and depending on the situation, applies quick, precise force to the appropriate brakes to help the driver control the vehicle’s direction to help keep it on course.
