Switching off AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC௡

If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off certain 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 AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC௡ system, select traction

control off in the message center. Full features of the AdvanceTrac

௡ with

RSC

௡ system can be restored by selecting traction control on, or by

turning off and restarting the engine.

If you switch off the AdvanceTrac

௡

with RSC

௡ system, the stability

control off light will illuminate
steadily. Selecting traction control
on will turn off the stability control
light.

In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function. However, ESC and RSC

௡ are

disabled.
