ADVANCETRAC WITH ROLL STABILITY CONTROLி (RSC)
STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM
The AdvanceTrac with RSC system provides stability enhancement
features such as Roll Stability Control (RSC), Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) and Traction Control (TCS) for certain driving situations.
The system includes an AdvanceTrac with RSC on/off button, and a
“sliding car” icon in the instrument cluster.
Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the
AdvanceTrac with RSC performs a system self-check. During
AdvanceTrac with RSC operation you may experience the following:
A rumble, grunting, or grinding noise after startup and when driving
off
A slight deceleration of the vehicle
The AdvanceTrac 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.
