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

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 with RSC system, the
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 by an authorized dealer
immediately.
