Switching Off AdvanceTrac with RSC
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off certain features of the AdvanceTrac with RSC
system may be beneficial because the wheels are allowed to spin. This
will restore full engine power and will enhance momentum through the
obstacle. To switch off the AdvanceTrac with RSC system partially,
press the AdvanceTrac with RSC௡ЉOffЉ button below 20 mph
(32 km/h). Full features of the AdvanceTrac with RSC system can be
restored by pressing the AdvanceTrac with RSC௡ЉOffЉ button again or
if the vehicle is above 20 mph (32 km/h) or by turning off and restarting
the engine.
If you switch off the AdvanceTrac with RSC system below 20 mph
(32 km/h), the sliding carЉ icon
will illuminate steadily. Pressing the
AdvanceTrac with RSC௡ЉOffЉ button again or if the vehicle is above
20 mph (32 km/h) will turn off the Љsliding carЉ
icon. The switch will
not allow partial AdvanceTrac with RSC system disabling above
20 mph (32 km/h).
In R (Reverse), ABS and the Engine and Brake Traction Control features
will continue to function; however, ESC and RSC are disabled.
