WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac with RSC system, the “sliding car” icon
will
illuminate steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac with RSC system is
not manually disabled (press the AdvanceTrac with RSC button
located on the center of the instrument panel). If the “sliding car”
icon
still illuminates steadily, have the system serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with
AdvanceTrac with RSC disabled could lead to an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The AdvanceTrac with RSC system provides the following stability
enhancement features for certain driving situations:
• Traction Control System (TCS), which functions to help avoid
drive-wheel spin and loss of traction.
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids
or lateral slides
• Roll Stability Control™ (RSC), which functions to help avoid a
vehicle roll-over.
The AdvanceTrac with RSC system automatically enables each time
the engine is started. All features of the AdvanceTrac with RSC system
(TCS, ESC, and RSC) are active and monitor the vehicle from start-up.
However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation requires
it.
The AdvanceTrac with RSC
system includes an AdvanceTrac
with RSC button on the instrument
panel, and a “sliding car” icon
in
the instrument cluster. 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 with RSC system to operate. If the “sliding car” icon
illuminates steadily, verify that the AdvanceTrac with RSC system is
not manually disabled by pressing the AdvanceTrac with RSC button
located on the instrument panel. If the “sliding car” icon
remains
steadily illuminated, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately.
Note: If the system cannot be turned off, refer to MyKey™ in the Locks
and Security chapter for more information.
