WARNING:
If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
威
system, the
⬙
sliding car
⬙
icon
will illuminate
steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
威
system is not manually disabled
(push the AdvanceTrac
威
“Off “ button located on the center of the
instrument panel). If the
⬙
sliding car
⬙
icon
still illuminates steadily,
have the system service by an authorized dealer immediately.
Your vehicle may be equipped with the AdvanceTrac
威
system. The
AdvanceTrac
威
system provides the following stability enhancement
features for certain driving situations:
•
Traction Control (TCS), which functions to help avoid drive-wheel
spin and loss of traction.
•
Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids
or lateral slides
The AdvanceTrac
威
system automatically enables each time the engine is
started. All features of the AdvanceTrac
威
system (TCS and ESC) 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
威 ⬙
Off
⬙
button on
the center of the instrument panel,
and a “sliding car” icon
in the
instrument cluster. The “sliding car”
icon
in the instrument cluster
will illuminate temporarily during start-up as part of a normal system
self-check, or during driving if a driving situation causes the
AdvanceTrac
威
system to operate. If the “sliding car” icon
illuminates
steadily, verify that the AdvanceTrac
威
system is not manually disabled by
pressing the AdvanceTrac
威 ⬙
Off
⬙
button located on the center stack of
the instrument panel. If the “sliding car” icon
remains steadily
illuminated, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. If equipped with a message center, the vehicle will also
indicate a failure with the AdvanceTrac
威
system.
When AdvanceTrac
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.
