威

system

(TCS, ESC, and RSC

威

are active and monitor the vehicle from start-up).

However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation requires
it.

The AdvanceTrac

威

system includes an AdvanceTrac

button on the center of

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

威

with RSC

威

system to operate. If the “sliding car” icon

illuminates

steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.

When AdvanceTrac

威

with RSC

威

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

威

with RSC

威

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.

Traction Control System (TCS)

Traction control is a driver aid feature that helps your vehicle maintain
traction of the wheels, typically when driving on slippery and/or hilly
road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin.
