Aggressive driving on any road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or

property damage. The occurrence of an AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC event

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 an accident, personal injury,
or property damage. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW
DOWN.

If a failure has been detected within the AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC

system, the

Љsliding carЉ icon

will illuminate steadily. Verify

that the AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC system is not manually disabled

(push the AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC button located on the center stack

of the instrument panel). If the

Љsliding carЉ icon

still illuminates

steadily, have the system service by an authorized dealer immediately.
Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC disabled may

severely reduce your ability to control your vehicle. Failure to have
your vehicle properly serviced will increase the risk of an accident,
injury, or property damage.

If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC system, the “sliding

car” icon

illuminates solid in the instrument cluster message center

and will stay on. If the “sliding car” icon

in the instrument cluster

message center remains on solid while the engine is running, without the
AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC button having been pushed, have the system

serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.

STEERING

Your vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power steering uses energy
from the engine to decrease the driver’s effort in steering the vehicle.

To help prevent damage to the power steering pump:
• Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left

for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.

• Do not operate the vehicle with the power steering pump fluid level

below the MIN mark on the reservoir.

• Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check

for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your
authorized dealer.
