FORD 2010 Mustang v.1 - Manual (Page 202)

WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
௡ system, the Љsliding carЉ icon
and the “sliding
car off” icon will illuminate steadily. If the
Љsliding carЉ icon
and
the “sliding car off” icon illuminate steadily, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the system serviced
immediately. Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac
௡ disabled could
lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death.
Your vehicle is equipped with the AdvanceTrac
௡ system. The
AdvanceTrac
௡ system provides the following stability enhancement
features for certain driving situations:
• Traction Control (TCS), which functions to help avoid drive-wheel
spin and loss of traction.
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids
or lateral slides
The AdvanceTrac
௡ system automatically enables each time the engine is
started. All features of the AdvanceTrac
௡ system (TCS and ESC) are
active and monitor the vehicle from start-up. However, the system will
only intervene if the driving situation requires it.
The AdvanceTrac
௡ system includes
an AdvanceTrac
௡ “OFF” control
switch on the center console, a
“sliding car” icon
and a “sliding
car off” icon in the instrument
cluster. Both the “sliding car”
icon
and the “sliding car off”
icon in the instrument cluster will illuminate temporarily during
start-up as part of a normal system self-check. The “sliding car” icon
may illuminate (flash) during certain driving situations which cause the
AdvanceTrac
௡ system to operate. If the “sliding car” icon
and the
“sliding car off” icon illuminate steadily, contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the system serviced immediately. If
equipped with a message center, the vehicle will also indicate a failure
with the AdvanceTrac
௡ system.
When AdvanceTrac
௡ 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.
