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
⬙Off⬙ control switch. Full features of
the AdvanceTrac威 system can be
restored by pressing the
AdvanceTrac威⬙Off⬙ 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⬙Off⬙
control switch again will turn off the
“sliding car off” icon.
In R (Reverse), ABS and the Engine and Brake Traction Control features
will continue to function; however, ESC is disabled.
