light with a “sliding car” icon in the instrument cluster that will flash

when the system is active and an indicator light in the control button

that will illuminate when the system is turned off. In vehicles with a

message center, the message “ADVANCETRAC OFF” will be displayed.

If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac娂 system, the warning

indicator light in the instrument cluster will stay on. If the warning

indicator light in the instrument cluster remains on while the engine is

running, have the system serviced immediately.

Pressing the control once will disable the AdvanceTrac娂 stability

enhancement and the engine power reduction portion of the traction

enhancement feature; the brake portion of the traction enhancement

feature will still function normally. Pressing and holding the control for

more than five seconds will disable the AdvanceTrac娂 stability

enhancement and traction enhancement feature. If the vehicle is stuck

in snow or mud or when driving in deep sand, switching off the

AdvanceTrac娂 system may be beneficial so the wheels are allowed to

spin. If your vehicle seems to lose engine power while driving in deep

sand or very deep snow, switching off the AdvanceTrac娂 stability

enhancement feature will restore full engine power and will enhance

momentum through the obstacle.

Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the

AdvanceTrac娂 performs a system self-check. During AdvanceTrac娂

operation you may experience the following:

• A rumble or grinding noise

• A slight deceleration of the vehicle

• The AdvanceTrac娂 indicator light will flash

• If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the

pedal.

• If the driving condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake, the

brake pedal will move to apply higher brake forces. You may also hear

a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during this severe

condition.

All these conditions are normal during AdvanceTrac娂 operation.

Do not alter or modify your vehicle’s suspension or steering; the

resulting changes to the vehicle’s handling can adversely affect

the AdvanceTrac娂 system. Also, do not install a stereo

loudspeaker near the rear console or either rear seat. The

speaker vibrations can adversely affect the AdvanceTrac娂

sensors located in this area.
