down, the system will again function normally. Anti-lock braking is not
affected by this condition and will function normally during the
cool-down period.
The AdvanceTrac
௢ with RSC system enhances your vehicle’s stability
during maneuvers that require all available tire traction, like in
wet/snowy/icy road conditions and/or when performing emergency
maneuvers. In an emergency lane-change, the driver will experience
better overall vehicle traction, and have better control of the vehicle.
The AdvanceTrac
௢ with RSC system helps the driver maintain steering
control if the vehicle begins to slide excessively left or right or spin out.
AdvanceTrac
௢ with RSC will attempt to correct the sliding motion by
applying brake force at individual tires and, if necessary, by reducing
engine power.
Driving conditions, which may activate the AdvanceTrac
௢ with RSC
system, include:
• Taking a turn too fast
• Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
• Hitting a patch of ice
• Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road
• Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice
versa
• Entering a paved road from a gravel road, or vice versa
• Hitting a curb while turning
• Driving on slick surfaces
• Cornering while towing a heavily loaded trailer (refer to Trailer
Towing in this chapter)
The RSC feature works to further enhance the vehicle’s overall stability
during aggressive maneuvers. The RSC feature helps maintain roll
stability of the vehicle during aggressive maneuvers by applying brake
force to one or more wheels.
The AdvanceTrac
௢ with RSC system automatically turns on when the
engine is started. However, the system does not function when the
vehicle is traveling in R (Reverse) or, if equipped with four-wheel drive,
in 4L (4X4 LOW). In R (Reverse) or in 4L (4X4 LOW), ABS and the
traction enhancement feature will continue to function.
