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

or lateral slides

• Roll Stability Control™ (RSC威), which functions to help avoid a

vehicle roll-over.

The AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system automatically enables each time the

engine is started. All features of the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system

(TCS, ESC, and RSC威) are active and monitor the vehicle from start-up.

However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation requires it.

The “sliding car” icon in 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 with RSC威

system to operate. If the “sliding car” icon

remains steadily

illuminated, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer

immediately.

When AdvanceTrac威 with RSC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 with RSC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 prevents the driven wheels from loss of

traction due to excessive throttle or low road friction level.
