Driving Note: If your vehicle is equipped with AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC௡, the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC௡ system will automatically turn off the stability enhancement feature when you shift the Control Trac௡ four-wheel drive system into 4L (4X4 LOW). The brake traction enhancement feature will still be enabled. The AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC௡ stability enhancement system can be turned off manually by pressing the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC௡ button (refer to AdvanceTrac௡ with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC௡) Stability Enhancement System in this chapter) while operating in 2H, 4A or 4H while driving in deep sand, very deep snow or more strenuous off-road maneuvers. This will disable the engine management feature, allowing the vehicle to maintain full power and enhanced momentum through the obstacle. WARNING: Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles. Note: The Control Trac௡ selector knob should not be changed while the rear wheels are slipping.
