• The AdvanceTrac威 with RSC indicator light will flash when the system

is activated.

• 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.

Traction Control

Traction Control helps your vehicle maintain traction, when driving on

slippery and/or hilly road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel

spin. Excessive wheel spin is controlled by momentarily reducing engine

power and/or applying the anti-lock brakes. Traction Control is a driver

aid that helps your vehicle.

If your vehicle should become stuck in deep snow or mud, try switching

the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC system off by pressing the AdvanceTrac威

with RSC button momentarily. This will allow your tires to “dig” for

traction. Remember to switch the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC system back

on once the vehicle is no longer stuck.

If the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC system is activated excessively in a short

period of time, the brake portion of the system will disable to allow the

brakes to cool down. In this situation, Traction Control will use only

engine power reduction to help control the wheels from over-spinning.

When the brakes have cooled down, the system will again function

normally. Anti-lock braking, RSC and ESC are not affected by this

condition and will function normally during the cool-down period.

If the vehicle is stuck in snow or mud or when driving in deep sand,

switching off the AdvanceTrac with RSC 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 with RSC stability enhancement feature will restore full

engine power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle.

Remember to switch the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC system back on once

the vehicle is no longer stuck.

During Traction Control events the “sliding car” icon

in the

instrument cluster will flash momentarily.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with RSC system may enhance

your vehicle’s stability during adverse maneuvers.
