Your vehicle may be equipped with the AdvanceTrac威 system. The

AdvanceTrac威 system provides the following stability enhancement

features for certain driving situations:

• Traction Control (TCS), which functions to help avoid drive-wheel

spin and loss of traction.

• Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids

or lateral slides

The AdvanceTrac威 system automatically enables each time the engine is

started. All features of the AdvanceTrac威 system (TCS and ESC) are

active and monitor the vehicle from start-up. However, the system will

only intervene if the driving situation requires it.

The AdvanceTrac威 system includes an

AdvanceTrac威⬙Off⬙ button on the

center of the instrument panel, and a

“sliding car” icon

in the instrument

cluster. The “sliding car” icon

the instrument cluster will illuminate

temporarily during start-up as part of a normal system self-check, or during

driving if a driving situation causes the AdvanceTrac威 system to operate. If

the “sliding car” icon

illuminates steadily, verify that the AdvanceTrac威

system is not manually disabled by pressing the AdvanceTrac威⬙Off⬙ button

located on the center stack of the instrument panel. If the “sliding car”

icon

remains steadily illuminated, have the system serviced by an

authorized dealer immediately. If equipped with a message center, the

vehicle will also indicate a failure with the AdvanceTrac威 system.

When AdvanceTrac威 performs a normal system self-check, some drivers

may notice a slight movement of the brake, and/or a rumble, grunting, or

grinding noise after startup and when driving off.

When an event occurs that activates AdvanceTrac威 you may experience

the following:

• A slight deceleration of the vehicle

• The “sliding car”

indicator light will flash.

• A vibration in the pedal when your foot is on the brake pedal

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

brake pedal may move as the systems applies higher brake forces. You

may also hear a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during

this severe condition.

• The brake pedal may feel stiffer than usual.
