Switching Off AdvanceTrac
௡
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off certain features of the AdvanceTrac
௡ 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 AdvanceTrac
௡
system press the AdvanceTrac
௡
ЉOffЉ control switch. Full features of
the AdvanceTrac
௡ system can be
restored by pressing the
AdvanceTrac
௡ ЉOffЉ control switch
again or by turning off and restarting the engine.
When the AdvanceTrac
௡ system is
off, the “sliding car off” icon will
illuminate steadily. Pressing the
AdvanceTrac
௡ ЉOffЉ control switch
again will turn off the “sliding car
off” icon.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the Engine and Brake Traction Control features
will continue to function; however, ESC is disabled.
