WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
with RSC system, the “sliding car” icon
will
illuminate steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system is
not manually disabled (push the AdvanceTrac
with RSC control
button located on the center of the instrument panel). If the “sliding
car” icon
still illuminates steadily, have the system serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with
AdvanceTrac
with RSC disabled could lead to an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The AdvanceTrac
with RSC system automatically enables each time
the engine is started. All features of the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system
(TCS, ESC, and RSC
) are active and monitor the vehicle from start-up.
However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation requires
it.
The AdvanceTrac
with RSC
system includes an AdvanceTrac
with RSC
control button on the
center of the instrument panel, and
a “sliding car” icon
in the
instrument cluster. The “sliding car”
icon
in the instrument cluster will illuminate if a driving situation
causes the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system to operate. If the “sliding
car” icon
illuminates steadily, verify that the AdvanceTrac
with
RSC
system is not manually disabled by pressing the AdvanceTrac
with RSC
button located on the center stack of the instrument panel. If
the “sliding car” icon
remains steadily illuminated, have the system
serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
Note: If the system cannot be turned off, refer to MyKey™ in the Locks
and Security chapter for more information.
When AdvanceTrac
with RSC performs a normal system self-check,
some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake, and/or a
rumble, grunting, or grinding noise after startup and when driving off.
When an event occurs that activates AdvanceTrac
with RSC you may
experience the following:
• A slight deceleration of the vehicle
• The “sliding car”
indicator light will flash.
• A vibration in the pedal when your foot is on the brake pedal
