Stability/Traction Control Indicators (Sliding-Car Icon)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Status of the traction control and AdvanceTrac® systems is indicated by a stability/traction control indicator (sliding-car icon) and a stability/traction control indicator (sliding-car "OFF" icon) located in the IC (or message center, if equipped). When the driver disables the systems through the use of the stability/traction control switch, the stability/traction control sliding car "OFF" icon will illuminate solidly. When one or more of the systems is currently active, the stability/traction control sliding car icon will flash, and when the system is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, the stability/traction control sliding-car icon will illuminate in conjunction with the yellow ABS warning indicator. The yellow ABS indicator and the stability/traction control indicator (sliding car icon) remain illuminated on the next key cycle until the ABS module carries out the self-tests and confirms that the malfunction is resolved.
