What's the difference between....

Advance Track and Traction control.

I hit the TC button once, on/off TC, hold the TC button down, display says AT off.

I'm just curious what the difference is with both of these and the conditions when you may want one of these two features off.

And last but not least, is it possible to have the AT off and the TC on ?

Thanks in advance !!

Did you read page 280 in the owner's manual (first printing - maybe different page in a later printing)?

What term are you calling TC? Do you mean TCS?

AdvanceTrac is made up of three separate systems:

Traction control system (TCS), which functions to help avoid drive-wheel spin and loss of traction.

Electronic stability control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids or lateral slides.

Roll Stability Control™ (RSC), which functions to help avoid a vehicle roll-over.
