FORD 2009 Fusion v.1 - Manual (Page 201)

WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
௡ system, the Љsliding carЉ icon
will illuminate
steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
௡ system is not manually disabled
(push the AdvanceTrac
௡ “Off “ button located on the center of the
instrument panel). If the
Љsliding carЉ icon
still illuminates steadily,
have the system service by an authorized dealer immediately.
Your vehicle may be equipped with the AdvanceTrac system. The
AdvanceTrac 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
The AdvanceTrac
௡ system automatically enables each time the engine is
started. All features of the AdvanceTrac
௡ system (TCS and ESC) are
active and monitor the vehicle from start-up. However, the system will
only intervene if the driving situation requires it.
The AdvanceTrac
௡ system includes
an AdvanceTrac
௡ 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
௡ system to operate. If the “sliding car” icon
illuminates
steadily, verify that the AdvanceTrac
௡ system is not manually disabled by
pressing the AdvanceTrac
௡ ЉOffЉ button located on the center stack of
the instrument panel. If the “sliding car” icon remains steadily
illuminated, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. If equipped with a message center, the vehicle will also
indicate a failure with the AdvanceTrac
௡ system.
When AdvanceTrac
௡ performs a normal system self-check, some drivers
may notice a slight movement of the brake, and/or a rumble, grunting, or
grinding noise after startup and when driving off.
When an event occurs that activates AdvanceTrac
௡ you may experience
