The AdvanceTrac
with RSC button
allows the driver to control the
availability of the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system. AdvanceTrac
with RSC system status is indicated
by a warning indicator light with a
“sliding car” icon in the instrument
cluster that will flash when the
system is active and an indicator light in the control button that will
illuminate when the system is turned off.
The AdvanceTrac
with RSC system
warning indicator light may flash to
indicate the system is not fully
initialized. If this happens, slow
down. If the light continues flashing,
have the AdvanceTrac
with RSC
system serviced by an authorized dealer.
If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system, the
warning indicator light in the instrument cluster will stay on and the
instrument cluster will chime repeatedly. If the warning indicator light in
the instrument cluster remains on and the chime is active while the
engine is running, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately.
Pressing the control will disable the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system and
the traction enhancement feature at and below 20 mph (32 km/h). If the
vehicle is stuck in snow or mud or when driving in deep sand, switching
off the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system may be beneficial so the wheels
are allowed to spin. If your vehicle seems to lose engine power while
driving in deep sand or very deep snow and the vehicle speed is 20 mph
(32 km/h) or below, switching off the AdvanceTrac
with RSC stability
enhancement feature will restore full engine power and will enhance
momentum through the obstacle. Remember to switch the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system back on once the vehicle is no longer stuck.
Note: The AdvanceTrac
with RSC system will automatically restore to
full functionality every time the vehicle speed exceeds 20 mph (32 km/h)
or the ignition is turned off and back on. However, the AdvanceTrac
with RSC button remains illuminated even above 20 mph (32 km/h) until
it is pressed.
