The RSC system works in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac
威
system to
further enhance the vehicle’s overall stability during aggressive
maneuvers. The system helps maintain roll stability of the vehicle during
aggressive maneuvers by applying brake force to one or more wheels.
Driving conditions that may activate Roll Stability Control include:
•
Emergency lane-change
•
Taking a turn too fast
•
Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system automatically turns on when the
engine is started. However, the system does not function when the
vehicle is traveling in R (Reverse). In R (Reverse), ABS and the traction
enhancement feature will continue to function.
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC button
allows the driver to control the
availability of the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system. AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system status is indicated
by a warning indicator light with a “sliding car” icon in the instrument
cluster that will flash when the system is active and an indicator light in
the control button that will illuminate when the system is turned off.
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system warning indicator light may flash to
indicate the system is not fully initialized. If this happens, slow down. If
the light continues flashing, have the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system
serviced.
If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system, the
warning indicator light in the instrument cluster will stay on and the
instrument cluster will chime repeatedly. If the warning indicator light in
the instrument cluster remains on and the chime is active while the
engine is running, have the system serviced immediately.
