During an event that activates the RSC
, the stability control light in the
instrument cluster will flash.
Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate the RSC
system, which
include:
• Emergency lane-change
• Taking a turn too fast
• Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
Traction control
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off the traction control 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 switch off
the traction control, press the TCS OFF button below 20 mph (32 km/h).
Full features of the traction control system can be restored by pressing
the TCS OFF button again or if the vehicle is above 20 mph (32 km/h) or
by turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the traction control system below 20 mph (32 km/h),
the TCS OFF light will illuminate steadily. Pressing the TCS OFF button
again or if the vehicle is above 20 mph (32 km/h) will turn off the TCS
OFF light. The switch will not allow partial traction control system
disabling above 20 mph (32 km/h).
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function; however, ESC and RSC
are
disabled.
