The AdvanceTrac® system helps you keep control of your vehicle when
on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control portion of the system
helps avoid skids and lateral slides and the traction control system helps
avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. See the
Traction Control
chapter for details on traction control system operation.
