Driving conditions which may activate AdvanceTrac
y
include:
•
Taking a turn too fast
•
Evasively maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
•
Hitting a patch of ice
•
Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road
•
Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street
•
Entering a paved road from a gravel road
•
Hitting a curb while turning
•
Driving on slick surfaces
The AdvanceTrac
y
system defaults to ON when the engine is started.
The system does not work when the vehicle is traveling backwards. In
reverse, ABS and Traction Control
y
will continue to function. The
system uses ABS and Traction Control
y
(including control of the
engine) as well as its more advanced controls to enhance vehicle
stability.
The AdvanceTrac
y
on/off control
button allows the driver to control
the availability of the Traction
Control
y
and AdvanceTrac
y
system. This is independent of the
ABS function, which can
NOT
be
switched off by the driver. The
AdvanceTrac
y
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 active and an indicator light in the control button
that will illuminate when the system is turned OFF. In vehicles with a
message center (if equipped), the message “ADVANCETRAC OFF” is
displayed. If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac
y
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 immediately.
The AdvanceTrac
y
system continually monitors and checks all sensors
used in improving the stability of the vehicle. Some drivers may notice a
slight movement of the brake pedal when the system checks itself.
