WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the

AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system, the stability control light will

illuminate steadily. If the stability control light illuminates steadily, have

the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately. Operating

your vehicle with the stability control light illuminated 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 stability control light in the instrument cluster will illuminate

temporarily during start-up as part of a normal system self-check, or

during driving if a driving situation causes the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威

system to operate. If the stability control light remains steadily

illuminated, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer

immediately.

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 stability control light will flash.

• A vibration in the pedal when your foot is on the brake pedal

• If the driving condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake, the

brake pedal may move as the systems applies higher brake forces. You

may also hear a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during

this severe condition.

• The brake pedal may feel stiffer than usual.

Traction control system (TCS)

Traction control is a driver aid feature that helps your vehicle maintain

traction of the wheels, typically when driving on slippery and/or hilly

road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin.

Excessive wheel spin is controlled in two ways, which may work

separately or in tandem: engine traction control and brake traction
