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 switch off the traction control, press the
stability control button. Full features of the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡
system can be restored by pressing the stability control button again or
by turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the traction control, the stability control light will
illuminate steadily. Pressing the stability control button again will turn off
the stability control light.
In 4L (4X4 Low) if equipped, ABS and the brake traction control
features will continue to function; however ESC, RSC and engine traction
control are disabled.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function; however, ESC and RSC
௡ are
disabled.

Your vehicle may be equipped with trailer sway control. When properly
equipped, trailer sway control will use the vehicle’s AdvanceTrac
௡ with
RSC
௡ system to detect and help reduce trailer sway by applying brake
force at individual wheels and, if necessary, by reducing engine power.
