WARNING:
If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
威
system, the stability control light will illuminate
steadily, and you may hear a chime. If equipped with a message center,
the vehicle will also indicate a failure with the brake system. Have the
system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
The AdvanceTrac
威
system automatically enables each time the engine is
started. All features of the AdvanceTrac
威
system (TCS and ESC) are
active and monitor the vehicle from start-up. However, the system will
only intervene if the driving situation requires it.
The AdvanceTrac

one of these stability control
switches located on the instrument
panel.
The stability control light and the
stability control off light located in
the instrument cluster will
illuminate temporarily during
start-up as part of a normal system self-check. The stability control light
may illuminate (flash) during certain driving situations which cause the
AdvanceTrac
威
system to operate. If the stability control light illuminates
steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately. If
equipped with a message center, the vehicle will also indicate a failure
with the AdvanceTrac
威
system.
When AdvanceTrac
威
performs a normal system self-check, some drivers
may notice a slight movement of the brake, and/or a rumble, grunting, or
grinding noise after startup and when driving off.
When an event occurs that activates AdvanceTrac
威
you may experience
the following:
•
A slight deceleration of the vehicle
•
The stability control light will flash.
•

•

may also hear a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during
this severe condition.
•
