over-spinning. When the brakes have cooled down, the system will again
function normally. Anti-lock braking is not affected by this condition and
will function normally during the cool-down period.
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system enhances your vehicle’s stability
during maneuvers that require all available tire traction, like in
wet/snowy/icy road conditions and/or when performing emergency
maneuvers. In an emergency lane-change, the driver will experience
better overall vehicle traction, and have better control of the vehicle.
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system helps the driver maintain steering
control if the vehicle begins to slide excessively left or right or spin out.
AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC will attempt to correct the sliding motion by
applying brake force at individual tires and, if necessary, by reducing
engine power.
Driving conditions which may activate AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system
include:
•
Taking a turn too fast.
•
Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle.
•
Hitting a patch of ice.
•
Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road.
•
Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice
versa.
•
Entering a paved road from a gravel road, or vice versa.
•
Hitting a curb while turning.
•
Driving on slick surfaces.
•
Cornering while towing a heavily loaded trailer (refer to
Trailer
towing
in the
Tires, Wheels and Loading
chapter.)
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
