Switching off traction control
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off the traction control features of the AdvanceTrac
with RSC
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
AdvanceTrac
with RSC button. Full features of the AdvanceTrac with
RSC
system can be restored by pressing the AdvanceTrac with RSC
button again or by turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the traction control, the “sliding car” icon
will
illuminate steadily. Pressing the AdvanceTrac
with RSC button again
will turn off the “sliding car” icon
.
In 4L (4X4 Low) if equipped, ABS and the brake traction control
features will continue to function; however ESC, RSC and engine traction
control are disabled.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function; however, ESC and RSC
are
disabled.

Trailer Sway Control
Your vehicle may be equipped with trailer sway control. When properly
equipped, trailer sway control will use the vehicle’s AdvanceTrac
with
RSC
system to detect and help reduce trailer sway by applying brake
force at individual wheels and, if necessary, by reducing engine power.
