Lincoln 2011 MKX - Manual (Page 219)

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: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system, the stability control light and
stability control off light will illuminate steadily. Verify that the
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system was not manually disabled through
the message center. If the stability control light and stability control off
light still illuminate 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 traction control
off selection located in the message
center, a stability control light and a
stability control off light in the instrument cluster. Refer to Message
center in the Instrument cluster section for more information. Both the
stability control light and the stability control off light will illuminate
temporarily during start-up as part of a normal system self-check. The
stability control light may illuminate (flash) during certain driving
conditions which cause the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system to operate.
If the stability control light and stability control off light illuminate
steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
The message center will also indicate a failure with the AdvanceTrac
௡
with RSC
௡ system.
