Traction Control Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The traction control switch is hardwired to the IPC. The IPC communicates switch status to the ABS module via the HS-CAN bus. The traction control switch allows the driver to control use of the traction control system. This is independent of the ABS, ESC and RSC® functions, which cannot be switched off by the driver. There are 2 separate sliding car icons; the stability/traction control indicator "sliding car icon" and the stability/traction control indicator "sliding-car OFF icon". Traction control system status is indicated by the stability/traction control indicator "sliding-car icon" in the IPC. The stability/traction control indicator "sliding car OFF icon" is used to alert the driver that the traction control portion of the AdvanceTrac® system has been disabled by the driver. This icon only illuminates solidly and does not flash. The system automatically restores to full functionality when the ignition switch is cycled from OFF to RUN.
