Driving AdvanceTracT enhances stability during maneuvers that require all available tire traction to control the vehicle. The benefits of the AdvanceTracT system are most noticeable when driving in wet/snowy/icy road conditions and/or when performing emergency maneuvers. In an emergency laneĆchange, the driver will have better control of the vehicle. Driving conditions which may activate AdvanceTracT include: • Taking a turn too fast • Evasively maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle • Hitting a patch of ice • Changing lanes on a snowĆrutted road • Entering a snowĆfree road from a snowĆcovered side street • Entering a paved road from a gravel road • Hitting a curb while turning • Driving on slick surfaces During AdvanceTracT operation you may experience the following: • A rumble or grinding sound much like ABS • A slight deceleration or a reduction in the acceleration of the vehicle 138
