What is Lincoln's AdvanceTrac®* traction control system?

Some Lincoln vehicles come equipped with AdvanceTrac, a traction control system (TCS) that helps avoid loss of traction. When the system senses a loss of traction, it applies braking where needed to keep the vehicle tracking safely on its intended path.

Electronic Stability Enhancement Features

AdvanceTrac provides the following electronic stability enhancement features:

  • A TCS, that functions to help avoid loss of traction.
  • Electronic Stability Control, that functions to help prevent skids or lateral slides.
  • Roll Stability Control®, which functions to help prevent a vehicle rollover.

AdvanceTrac is always on and does not require your interaction to operate. If the need to disable it arises, an AdvanceTrac button is located on the instrument panel. For instance, if you are stuck in snow, mud, or sand and seem to be losing engine power, switching AdvanceTrac to "Off" may be beneficial as it will allow your wheels to spin. This will restore full engine power and enhance your momentum to get out of the situation.

Refer to your Owner's Manual for the location of the AdvanceTrac button for your vehicle.
