Note: If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac
with RSC, the
AdvanceTrac
with RSC system will automatically turn off the stability
enhancement feature when you shift the Control Trac
four-wheel drive
system into 4L (4X4 LOW). The brake traction enhancement feature will
still be enabled.
The AdvanceTrac
with RSC stability enhancement system can be
turned off manually by pressing the AdvanceTrac
with RSC button
(refer to AdvanceTrac
with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC) Stability
Enhancement System in this chapter) while operating in 2H, 4A or 4H
while driving in deep sand, very deep snow or more strenuous off-road
maneuvers. This will disable the engine management feature, allowing
the vehicle to maintain full power and enhanced momentum through the
obstacle.
WARNING: Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not designed
for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than
low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles.
Note: The Control Trac
selector knob should not be changed while the
rear wheels are slipping.
