USING ADVANCETRAC

The system automatically is enabled when you start your engine. The
ESC portion of the system is disabled when the transmission is in R
(Reverse) or, on some models, if the stability control button is pressed
and held for more than five seconds when the brakes are applied and the
vehicle is at a stop. The traction control portion of the system can be
turned off independently. See the Traction Control chapter.

Some models may also come equipped with a sport mode which allows
the driver to reduce normal AdvanceTrac

௡ system intervention and

provide a more spirited driving experience. To enter sport mode, press
the stability control button twice rapidly with the brakes applied. The
message appears in the information display that the system is now in
sport mode.

Note: Sport mode is not intended to be used on public roadways.
