by pressing the AdvanceTrac“Off” button again or by turning off and
restarting the engine.
If you switch off the Traction Control, thesliding caricon
will
illuminate steadily. Pressing the AdvanceTracOffbutton again will
turn off the lighted button, “sliding car” icon

In R (Reverse), ABS and the Engine and Brake Traction Control features
will continue to function; however, ESC is disabled.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.
3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the
switch by pressing in on the reset

FUSES AND RELAYS
Fuses
If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.
Note:Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage
rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.
