Roll Stability Control™ (RSC
௡)
Roll Stability Control™ (RSC
௡) may help to maintain roll stability of the
vehicle during adverse maneuvers. RSC
௡ operates by detecting the
vehicle’s roll motion and the rate at which it changes and by applying the
brakes to one or more wheels individually.
During an event that activates the RSC
௡ system, the stability control
light in the instrument cluster will flash.
Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate the RSC
௡ system, which
include:
• Emergency lane-change
• Taking a turn too fast
• Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
Switching off traction control
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off the traction Control features of the AdvanceTrac
௡
with RSC
௡ system may be beneficial because the wheels are allowed to
spin. This will restore full engine power and will enhance momentum
through the obstacle.
To turn off the AdvanceTrac
௡
system, press the traction control
off button. The off switch could look
like either of the two graphics
shown. Full features of the TCS can
be restored by pressing the traction
control button again or by turning
off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the traction
control, the stability control off light
will illuminate steadily. Pressing the
traction control button again will
turn off the stability control light.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function; however, ESC and RSC
௡ are
disabled.
