Driving
Switching off AdvanceTrac
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off certain features of the AdvanceTrac system may be
beneficial because the wheels are allowed to spin. This will restore full
engine power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle.
To turn off the AdvanceTrac
system, press the traction control
off switch. The off switch could look
like either of the two graphics
shown. Full features of the
AdvanceTrac system can be
restored by pressing the traction
control off switch again or by
turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the AdvanceTrac
system, the stability control off light
will illuminate steadily. Pressing the
AdvanceTrac control switch again
will turn off the stability control off
light.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function; however, ESC is disabled.
