FORD 2009 Edge v.2 - Manual (Page 226)

WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system, the Љsliding carЉ icon
will
illuminate steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system is
not manually disabled (push the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ “Off “
button located on the center of the instrument panel). If the
Љsliding
car
Љ icon
still illuminates steadily, have the system service by an
authorized dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ disabled could lead to an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system provides the following stability
enhancement features for certain driving situations:
• Traction Control (TCS), which functions to help avoid drive-wheel
spin and loss of traction.
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids
or lateral slides
• Roll Stability Control™ (RSC௡), which functions to help avoid a
vehicle roll-over.
The AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system automatically enables each time
the engine is started. All features of the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system
(TCS, ESC, and RSC
௡ are active and monitor the vehicle from start-up).
However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation requires
it.
The AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡
system includes an AdvanceTrac
௡
with RSC
௡ ЉOffЉ button on the
center of the instrument panel, and
a “sliding car” icon
in the
instrument cluster. The “sliding car”
icon
in the instrument cluster will illuminate temporarily during
start-up as part of a normal system self-check, or during driving if a
driving situation causes the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system to operate.
If the “sliding car” icon illuminates steadily, verify that the
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system is not manually disabled by pressing
the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ ЉOffЉ button located on the center of the
instrument panel. If the “sliding car” icon remains steadily
illuminated, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. The message center will also indicate a failure with the
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system.
