or lateral slides
• Roll Stability Control™ (RSC), which functions to help avoid a

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).

the instrument panel, the “sliding
car” icon
and a “sliding car off”
icon
in the instrument cluster.
Both the “sliding car” icon
and the “sliding car off” 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.
When AdvanceTrac with RSC performs a normal system self-check,
some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake, and/or a
rumble, grunting, or grinding noise after startup and when driving off.
When an event occurs that activates AdvanceTrac with RSC you may
experience the following:
• A slight deceleration of the vehicle
• The “sliding car”
indicator light will flash.
• If your foot is on the brake pedal, a vibration in the pedal.
• If the driving condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake, the
brake pedal may move as the systems applies higher brake forces. You
may also hear a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during
this severe condition.
• The brake pedal may feel stiffer than usual.
