Colorado
Most Chevrolet models come with OnStar(2) standard for one year
Standard StabiliTrak helps Colorado surround you in 360 degrees of safety. This system helps improve vehicle stability, particularly during emergency maneuvers. StabiliTrak also includes Proactive Roll Avoidance, which reduces the risk of a rollover. Here's how StabiliTrak works:
The StabiliTrak control module compares your steering input with the truck's actual response and then, if necessary, makes small, individual brake applications to enhance control and keep you on track.
StabiliTrak automatically intervenes when it senses loss of lateral traction (sideslip), understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing).
In these situations, the system applies brake pressure and, if necessary, adjusts engine torque to help the driver get the vehicle back on track.
