Roll Stability Control
娂
(RSC)
The RSC system works in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac
威
system to
help maintain roll stability of the vehicle during aggressive maneuvers by
applying brake force to one or more wheels.
During Roll Stability Control
娂
(RSC) events the “sliding car” icon in the
instrument cluster will flash momentarily.
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.
