Switching Off AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off certain 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 AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system partially,
press the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ ЉOffЉ button below 20 mph
(32 km/h). Full features of the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system can be
restored by pressing the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ ЉOffЉ 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 AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system below 20 mph
(32 km/h), the sliding car
Љ icon
will illuminate steadily. Pressing the
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ ЉOffЉ button again or if the vehicle is above
20 mph (32 km/h) will turn off the
Љsliding carЉ
icon. The switch will
not allow partial AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system disabling above
20 mph (32 km/h).
In R (Reverse), ABS and the Engine and Brake Traction Control features
will continue to function; however, ESC and RSC
௡ are disabled.
