The RSC feature works to further enhance the vehicle's overall stability
during aggressive maneuvers. The RSC feature helps maintain roll
stability of the vehicle during aggressive maneuvers by applying brake
force to one or more wheels.
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) or, if equipped with four-wheel drive,
in 4L (4X4 LOW). In R (Reverse) or in 4L (4X4 LOW), 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. The 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
activated and an indicator light in the control button that will illuminate
when the system is turned off. In vehicles with a message center, the
message "ADVANCETRAC OFF" will be displayed.
If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac
warning indicator light in the instrument cluster will stay on. If the
warning indicator light in the instrument cluster remains on while the
engine is running, have the system serviced immediately.
Pressing the button once will disable the AdvanceTrac
stability enhancement system and the engine power reduction portion of
the traction enhancement feature; the brake portion of the traction
enhancement feature will still function normally. Pressing and holding
the button for more than five seconds will disable the AdvanceTrac
with RSC stability enhancement and traction enhancement feature. If the
vehicle is stuck in snow or mud or when driving in deep sand, switching
off the AdvanceTrac with RSC system may be beneficial so the wheels
are allowed to spin. If your vehicle seems to lose engine power while
driving in deep sand or very deep snow, switching off the AdvanceTrac
with RSC stability enhancement system will restore full engine power
and will enhance momentum through the obstacle.
Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the
AdvanceTrac with RSC performs a system self-check. During
AdvanceTrac with RSC system operation you may experience the
following:
• A rumble or grinding noise
