brakes. The system is a driver aid which makes your vehicle easier to
handle primarily on snow and ice-covered roads.
If your vehicle should become stuck in deep snow or mud, try switching
the AdvanceTrac
娂
system off by pressing the AdvanceTrac
娂
button.
This will allow your tires to “dig” for traction.
If the AdvanceTrac
娂
system is activated excessively in a short period of
time, the brake portion of the system will shut down to allow the brakes
to cool down. A limited AdvanceTrac
娂
function using only engine power
reduction will still help control the wheels from 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.
AdvanceTrac
娂
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
娂
system helps the driver maintain steering control if
the vehicle begins to slide excessively left or right or spin out.
AdvanceTrac
娂
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
娂
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
The AdvanceTrac
娂
system automatically turns on when the engine is
started. However, the system does not function when the vehicle is
traveling in R (Reverse); the ABS and traction enhancement features will
continue to function.
