FORD 2006 Expedition v.1 - Manual (Page 243)

• Driving on slick surfaces
• Cornering while towing a heavily loaded trailer (refer to Trailer
Towing in this chapter)
The RSC feature works to further enhance the vehicle’s overall stability
during aggressive maneuvers. The RSC feature helps maintain roll
stability of the vehicle during aggressive maneuvers by applying brake
force to one or more wheels.
The AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC system automatically turns on when the
engine is started. However, the system does not function when the
vehicle is traveling in R (Reverse) or, if equipped with four-wheel drive,
in 4L (4X4 LOW). In R (Reverse) or in 4L (4X4 LOW), ABS and the
traction enhancement feature will continue to function.
The AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC button,
located on the center console,
allows the driver to control the
availability of the AdvanceTrac
௡
with RSC system. The RSC system
status is indicated by a warning indicator light with a “sliding car” icon in
the instrument cluster that will flash when the system is activated and
an indicator light in the control button that will illuminate when the
system is turned off. In vehicles with a message center, the message
“ADVANCETRAC OFF” will be displayed.
If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC system, the
warning indicator light in the instrument cluster will stay on. If the
warning indicator light in the instrument cluster remains on while the
engine is running, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately.
Pressing the button once will disable the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC
stability enhancement system and the engine power reduction portion of
the traction enhancement feature; the brake portion of the traction
enhancement feature will still function normally. Pressing and holding
the button for more than five seconds will disable the AdvanceTrac
௡ with
RSC stability enhancement and traction enhancement feature. If the
vehicle is stuck in snow or mud or when driving in deep sand, switching
off the AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC system may be beneficial so the wheels
are allowed to spin. If your vehicle seems to lose engine power while
driving in deep sand or very deep snow, switching off the AdvanceTrac
௡
with RSC stability enhancement system will restore full engine power
and will enhance momentum through the obstacle.
