AdvanceTrac with RSC
(Roll Stability Control)
• StandardonSRWmodels
• Anelectronicstabilitycontrolsystemthathelpsthe
driver maintain vehicle stability in adverse driving
situations or when making evasive maneuvers on
slippery pavement
• Monitorsvehicle’scorneringbehaviorwithsteering
angle, lateral acceleration and yaw rate sensors,
and automatically makes braking and throttle
adjustments to match vehicle’s direction to the
driver’s intention using Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) and Traction Control components
• AdvanceTracautomaticallyactivateswheneverthe
vehicle is started, but may be turned off for certain
situationssuchaswhen“rocking”avehiclestuckin
mud or snow
NOTE: Please remember that even sophisticated,
advanced technologies cannot defy the laws of physics.
Encourage safe driving habits to your customers.
NOTE: See the Safety section in the Source Book
Appendices or on eSourceBook for more information.
MyKey
• Allowsparentsandfleetownerstoprograma“key
limit”tocertainvehiclefunctionstohelppromote
safe driving habits
• Defaultrestrictionsinclude:
– Persistent Belt-Minder alert that mutes audio
system until driver front safety belt is fastened
– Earlier Low Fuel Warning indicator
– Restriction of disabling certain features, if equipped
• Programmablerestrictionsinclude:
– Limited vehicle top speed
– Configurable speed alert chime at 45, 55 OR 65 mph
– Maximum audio system volume
• ProgrammingMyKeyisdoneviatheMessageCenter
– One standard key will be the Administrator Key,
while the other will operate as MyKey with the
programmed restrictions
SOS Post-Crash Alert System
• Activatesthehazardflashersandsoundsthehorn
after a crash in which the airbags deploy
(1)
• Soundingthehornandflashingthehazardsmakes
the vehicle easier to locate if the accident happens
off the roadway
• Systemoperatesuntildeactivatedorbatterypower
is depleted
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
• StandardonallSRWmodels
• Sensor-basedsystemalertsthedrivertosignificant
underinflation in any of the tires, excluding the spare
• Pressuresensorsdetectactualtirepressureand
activate a warning light in the vehicle’s instrument
cluster when a tire is significantly underinflated
• Properlyinflatedtireshelptomaximizefueleconomy
and maintain a smooth ride
NOTE: See the Safety section in the latest Source Book
Appendices or on eSourceBook for more information.
Trailer Sway Control
• StandardonSingleRearWheel(SRW)andDual
Rear Wheel (DRW) models
• WorksinconjunctionwiththeAdvanceTracwithRSC
(Roll Stability Control) system to expand the
vehicle’s dynamic stability control capabilities,
adding an additional layer of confidence and control
while towing a trailer
• AdvanceTraccontrolmoduleincorporatesadditional
software to monitor the truck’s performance
while towing
• Theaddedsoftwaremeasurestheyawmotionofthe
truck to determine if the trailer is swaying and then
responds to eliminate the sway condition by applying
brake force to individual wheels and, if necessary,
reducing engine power
• DRWmodelsdonotincludealloftheAdvanceTrac
software, but do include a yaw motion sensor that
works much the same way, sensing trailer sway and
applying individual brakes or reducing power
Safety and Security
(1) SOS hardware may become damaged or the battery may lose power in a crash, which could prevent operation. Not all crashes will activate an airbag.
