AdvanceTracT enhances stability
during maneuvers that require all
available tire traction to control the
vehicle. The benefits of the
AdvanceTracT system are most
noticeable when driving in
wet/snowy/icy road conditions
and/or when performing emergency
maneuvers. In an emergency
laneĆchange, the driver will have
better control of the vehicle.
Driving conditions which may
activate AdvanceTracT include:
• Taking a turn too fast
• Evasively maneuvering to avoid
an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
• Hitting a patch of ice
• Changing lanes on a snowĆrutted
road
• Entering a snowĆfree road from a
snowĆcovered side street
• Entering a paved road from a
gravel road
• Hitting a curb while turning
• Driving on slick surfaces
During AdvanceTracT operation
you may experience the following:
• A rumble or grinding sound much
like ABS
• A slight deceleration or a
reduction in the acceleration of the
vehicle
