Driving • 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. If your vehicle should become stuck in deep snow or mud, try switching the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC system off by pressing the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC button momentarily. This will allow your tires to "dig" for traction. If the AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC system is activated excessively in a short period of time, the brake portion of the system will disable to allow the brakes to cool down. In this situation, Traction Control will use only engine power reduction to help control the wheels from over-spinning. When the brakes have cooled down, the system will again function normally. Anti-lock braking, RSC and ESC are not affected by this condition and will function normally during the cool-down period. If the vehicle is stuck in snow or mud or when driving in deep sand, switching off the AdvanceTrac with RSC system may be beneficial so the wheels are allowed to spin. If your vehicle seems to lose engine power while driving in deep sand or very deep snow, switching off the AdvanceTrac with RSC stability enhancement feature will restore full engine power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle. in the During Traction Control events the "sliding car" icon instrument cluster will flash momentarily. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with RSC system may enhance your vehicle's stability during adverse maneuvers. The AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC system helps the driver maintain steering control. AdvanceTrac௡ with RSC will attempt to correct the vehicle motion by applying brake force at individual tires and, if necessary, by reducing engine power. During Electronic Stability Control events the "sliding car" icon instrument cluster will flash momentarily. 244 in the 2008 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
