Switching Off AdvanceTrac
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off certain features of the AdvanceTrac 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 system press the AdvanceTracЉOffЉ
button. Full features of the AdvanceTrac system can be restored by
pressing the AdvanceTracЉOffЉ button again or by turning off and
restarting the engine.
If you switch off the AdvanceTrac system, the Љsliding carЉ icon
will
illuminate steadily. Pressing the AdvanceTracЉOffЉ button again will
turn off the lighted button, Љsliding carЉ icon
.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the Engine and Brake Traction Control features
will continue to function; however, ESC is disabled.
