The RSC system works in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac
௡ system to
further enhance the vehicle’s overall stability during aggressive
maneuvers. The system helps maintain roll stability of the vehicle during
aggressive maneuvers by applying brake force to one or more wheels.
Driving conditions that may activate Roll Stability Control include:
• Emergency lane-change
• Taking a turn too fast
• Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
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). In R (Reverse), ABS and the traction
enhancement feature will continue to function.
The AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC button
allows the driver to control the
availability of the AdvanceTrac
௡
with RSC system. AdvanceTrac
௡
with RSC system status is indicated
by a warning indicator light with a
“sliding car” icon in the instrument
cluster that will flash when the
system is active and an indicator light in the control button that will
illuminate when the system is turned off.
