There are 2 separate sliding car icons; the sliding car OFF icon and the sliding car icon. The 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 will only illuminate solidly and does not flash. The sliding car icon is used to alert the driver that a stability/traction event is taking place (flashes twice per second) and to alert the driver of potential concerns in the AdvanceTrac® system (illuminates solidly).
