During Roll Stability Control™ (RSC) events the “sliding car” icon in the

Driving conditions that may activate AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC include:
•
Emergency lane-change
•
Taking a turn too fast
•
Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC button and icon functionality
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system automatically turns on each time
the engine is started, even if it was turned off when the engine was last
shut down. The “sliding car” icon which is located with the warning
lights in the instrument cluster will illuminate during bulb check at initial
start-up and then go off. This tells you that the system is normal and
active. All functions of the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system (RSC, ESC,
Engine Traction Control, and Brake Traction Control) will be tested at
start up. When the system is left active, the “sliding car” icon will flash
only when any of the components of the system are affecting the
vehicle’s performance, otherwise the light will remain off. Consequently,
the “sliding car” icon will not be illuminated during most of your normal
driving.
The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC button,
located on the center stack of the
instrument panel, allows the driver
to control certain features of the
AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system
below 45 mph (70 km/h). If the
vehicle is below 45 mph (70 km/h), pressing the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC
button will disable RSC, ESC and Engine Traction Control and steadily
illuminate the “sliding car” icon. The AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system will
remain enabled when the vehicle speed is above 45 mph (70 km/h) even
if the button has been pressed.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the Traction Control feature will continue to
function, however ESC and RSC are disabled.
All these conditions are normal during AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC
operation.
Do not alter or modify your vehicle’s suspension or steering; the
resulting changes to the vehicle’s handling can adversely affect
the AdvanceTrac
威
with RSC system.
