Traction Control Switch

The traction control switch allows the driver to select the traction control system off. This is independent of the standard ABS and ESC function, which cannot be switched off by the driver. The traction control system status is indicated by the sliding-car icon in the Instrument Cluster (IC) (or message center if equipped). When the traction control system is switched off, this indicator will illuminate. The standard ABS functions continue to operate as designed unless the yellow ABS warning indicator is also illuminated. Normal braking function always occurs, unless the red brake warning indicator is illuminated.

The AdvanceTrac® system cannot be disabled when a MyKey™-restricted key is in use that has the AdvanceTrac® always-on feature configured to "on." If an attempt is made to disable the AdvanceTrac® system while a MyKey™-restricted key is in use, ADVTRAC ON MY KEY SETTING will display in the IC message center.
