Ford F-150 Owner's Manual page 295

WARNING: Remember that even advanced technology cannot
defy the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a
vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive
driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your
vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the AdvanceTrac with RSC system is an indication that
at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road;
this could reduce the operator's ability to control the vehicle,
potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. If your AdvanceTrac with RSC system
activates, SLOW DOWN.
WARNING: When a failure has been detected with the
AdvanceTrac with RSC system, the stability control light will
illuminate steadily. AdvanceTrac with RSC can be disabled manually
by pressing the stability control off button located on the center of the
instrument panel. When the system is disabled, the stability control off
light will illuminate. If the stability control light 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 a stability control
off button located on the center of
the instrument panel.
There are two stability control lights
in the instrument cluster. The stability control light in the instrument
cluster will flash if a driving situation causes the AdvanceTrac with
RSC system to operate. If the stability control light illuminates steadily,
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.
