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.
The AdvanceTrac
button can be
used to enable unique
AdvanceTrac
modes.
Full features of the AdvanceTrac
system can be restored by pressing
the stability control button again or
by turning off and restarting the
engine.
When features of the AdvanceTrac
system are off, the stability control
off light will illuminate steadily.
Pressing the stability control button
again will turn off the stability
control off light.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function; however, ESC is disabled.
