Instruction Manual

The electronic stability control system may be deactivated in certain
situations. See the Switching off AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 section
following.
Roll Stability Control™ (RSC威)
Roll Stability Control™ (RSC威) may help to maintain roll stability of the
vehicle during adverse maneuvers. RSC威 operates by detecting the
vehicle’s roll motion and the rate at which it changes and by applying the
brakes to one or more wheels individually.
During an event that activates RSC威 the stability control light in the
instrument cluster will flash.
Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate the RSC威 system, which
include:
• Emergency lane-change
• Taking a turn too fast
• Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
The RSC威 system may be deactivated in certain situations. See the
Switching off AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 section following.
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, select traction
control off in the message center. Full features of the AdvanceTrac威 with
RSC威 system can be restored by selecting traction control on, or by
turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the AdvanceTrac威
with RSC威 system, the stability
control off light will illuminate
steadily. Selecting traction control
on will turn off the stability control
light.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function. However, ESC and RSC威 are
disabled.
