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.

Traction Control (TCS)

Traction Control is a driver aid feature that helps your vehicle maintain

traction of the wheels, typically when driving on slippery and/or hilly

road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin.

Excessive wheel spin is controlled in two ways, which may work

separately or in tandem, Engine Traction Control and Brake Traction

Control. Engine Traction Control works to limit drive-wheel spin by

momentarily reducing engine power. Brake Traction Control works to

limit wheel spin by momentarily applying the brakes to the wheel that is

slipping. Traction Control is most active at low speeds.

During Traction Control events the “sliding car” icon

in the

instrument cluster will flash.

If the Traction Control system is activated excessively in a short period

of time, the braking portion of the system may become temporarily

disabled to allow the brakes to cool down. In this situation, Traction

Control will use only engine power reduction or transfer to help control

the wheels from over-spinning. When the brakes have cooled down, the

system will regain all features. Anti-lock braking, and ESC are not

affected by this condition and will continue to function during the

cool-down period.

The Engine Traction Control and Brake Traction Control system may be

deactivated in certain situations. See the Switching Off AdvanceTrac威

section below.
