Driving Pull the release lever to release the brake. Driving with the parking brake on will cause the brakes to wear out quickly and reduce fuel economy. ADVANCETRACா WITH ROLL STABILITY CONTROLி (RSC) STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM The AdvanceTrac with RSC system provides stability enhancement features such as Roll Stability Control (RSC), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control (TCS) for certain driving situations. The system includes an AdvanceTrac with RSC on/off button, and a "sliding car" icon in the instrument cluster. Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the AdvanceTrac with RSC performs a system self-check. During AdvanceTrac with RSC operation you may experience the following: • A rumble, grunting, or grinding noise after startup and when driving off • A slight deceleration of the vehicle • The AdvanceTrac with RSC indicator light will flash when the system is activated. • If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the pedal. • If the driving condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake, the brake pedal will move to apply higher brake forces. You may also hear a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during this severe condition. Traction Control Traction Control helps your vehicle maintain traction, when driving on slippery and/or hilly road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin. Excessive wheel spin is controlled by momentarily reducing engine power and/or applying the anti-lock brakes. Traction Control is a driver aid that helps your vehicle. 241 2007 Mountaineer (mnt) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
