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.

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
