WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system, the “sliding car” icon
will
illuminate steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system is
not manually disabled (push the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 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威 with RSC威 disabled could lead to an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system automatically enables each time
the engine is started. All features of the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system
(TCS, ESC, and RSC威) are active and monitor the vehicle from start-up.
However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation requires
it.
The AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威
system includes an AdvanceTrac威
with RSC威 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威 with RSC威 system to operate. If the “sliding
car” icon
illuminates steadily, verify that the AdvanceTrac威 with
RSC威 system is not manually disabled by pressing the AdvanceTrac威
with RSC威 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威 with RSC威 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威 with RSC威 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
