Driving Driving conditions that may activate AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC include: • Emergency lane-change • Taking a turn too fast • Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC button and icon functionality The AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC system automatically turns on each time the engine is started, even if it was turned off when the engine was last shut down. The "sliding car" icon which is located with the warning lights in the instrument cluster will illuminate during bulb check at initial start-up and then go off. This tells you that the system is normal and active. All functions of the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC system (RSC, ESC, Engine Traction Control, and Brake Traction Control) will be tested at start up. When the system is left active, the "sliding car" icon will flash only when any of the components of the system are affecting the vehicle's performance, otherwise the light will remain off. Consequently, the "sliding car" icon will not be illuminated during most of your normal driving. The AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC button, located on the center stack of the instrument panel, allows the driver to control certain features of the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC system below 45 mph (70 km/h). If the vehicle is below 45 mph (70 km/h), pressing the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC button will disable RSC, ESC and Engine Traction Control and steadily illuminate the "sliding car" icon. The AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC system will remain enabled when the vehicle speed is above 45 mph (70 km/h) even if the button has been pressed. In R (Reverse), ABS and the Traction Control feature will continue to function, however ESC and RSC are disabled. All these conditions are normal during AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC operation. Do not alter or modify your vehicle's suspension or steering; the resulting changes to the vehicle's handling can adversely affect the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC system. 240 2008 Edge (edg) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
