Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac with RSC disabled could

Your vehicle is equipped with the AdvanceTrac with RSC system. The
AdvanceTrac with RSC system provides the following stability
enhancement features for certain driving situations:
• Traction Control (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.

system includes an AdvanceTrac
with RSC “Off” button on the
center of the instrument panel, the
“sliding car” icon

in the instrument cluster will illuminate temporarily during start-up as
part of a normal system self-check. The “sliding car” icon
may
illuminate (flash) during certain driving situation which cause the
AdvanceTrac with RSC system to operate. If the “sliding car” icon
illuminates steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. The message center will also indicate a failure with the
AdvanceTrac with RSC system.
Note: If the system cannot be turned off, refer to MyKey™ in the Locks
