Stability/Traction Control Indicator (Sliding-Car Icon)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Status of the traction control, ESC and RSC® systems is indicated by a sliding-car icon located in the IC . When the driver disables the system through the use of the stability/traction control switch, this indicator will illuminate solidly. When one or more of the systems is currently active, the indicator will flash, and when the system is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, the indicator will illuminate in conjunction with the yellow ABS warning indicator.

If the systems have been disabled through the stability/traction control switch and the vehicle speed reaches or exceeds 70 km/h (43 mph), the system will activate, but the indicator will remain illuminated until the driver presses the switch again or the ignition switch is cycled.
