Switching Off AdvanceTrac
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
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
system press the AdvanceTrac
威
control switch. Full features of the
AdvanceTrac
威
system can be
restored by pressing the
AdvanceTrac
威
control switch again
or by turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the AdvanceTrac
威
system, the “sliding car off”
icon
will illuminate steadily.
Pressing the AdvanceTrac
威
control
switch again will turn off the “sliding
car off” icon.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake traction
control features will continue to function; however, ESC is disabled.
