Driving WARNING: Remember that even advanced technology cannot defy the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage. Activation of the AdvanceTrac with RSC system is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this could reduce the operator's ability to control the vehicle, potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If your AdvanceTrac with RSC system activates, SLOW DOWN. WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the AdvanceTrac with RSC system, the "sliding car" icon 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. Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac with RSC disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.. The AdvanceTrac with RSC system automatically enables each time the engine is started. All features of the AdvanceTrac with RSC system (TCS, ESC, and RSC are active and monitor the vehicle from start-up). However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation requires it. The AdvanceTrac with RSC system includes an AdvanceTrac with RSC button on the center of the instrument panel, the "sliding car" icon in the instrument cluster. The "sliding car" icon in the instrument cluster will illuminate temporarily during start-up as part of a normal system self-check. The "sliding car" icon may illuminate (flash) during certain driving situation which cause the AdvanceTrac with RSC system to operate. If the "sliding car" icon illuminates steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately. The message center will also indicate a failure with the AdvanceTrac with RSC system. Note: If the system cannot be turned off, refer to MyKey™ in the Locks and Security chapter for more information. 262 2010 Flex (471) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
