Switching Off AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off certain features of the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威
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威 with RSC威 system press the
AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威⬙Off⬙ button. Full features of the AdvanceTrac威
with RSC威 system can be restored by pressing the AdvanceTrac威 with
RSC威⬙Off⬙ button again or by turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system, the sliding car⬙
icon
will illuminate steadily. Pressing the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威
⬙Off⬙ button again will turn off the ⬙sliding car⬙ icon
.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the Engine and Brake Traction Control features
will continue to function; however, ESC and RSC威 are disabled.

Trailer Sway Control
When properly equipped, trailer sway control will use the vehicle’s
AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system to detect and help reduce trailer sway
by applying brake force at individual wheels and, if necessary, by
reducing engine power. Trailer sway control is only enabled above
40 mph (64 km/h).
