Do not alter or modify your vehicle’s suspension or steering; the

resulting changes to the vehicle’s handling can adversely affect

the AdvanceTrac威 system. Also, do not install a stereo

loudspeaker near the front center console or under either front

seat. The speaker vibrations can adversely affect the

AdvanceTrac威 sensors located in this area.

Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose

control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal

injury or property damage. The occurrence of an AdvanceTrac威 event

is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their

ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss of

vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If you

experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.

TRACTION CONTROL™ (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Traction Control™ system. This

system helps you maintain the stability and steerability of your vehicle. It

is especially useful on slippery road surfaces. The system operates by

detecting and controlling wheel spin. The system borrows many of the

electronic elements already present in the anti-lock braking system

(ABS).

Wheel-speed sensors allow excess wheel spin to be detected by the

Traction Control™ portion of the ABS computer. Excess wheel spin is

controlled through either engine or brake torque reduction. This is

realized via the fully electronic engine control system. This process is

very sensitive to driving conditions and very fast acting. The wheels

“search” for optimum traction several times a second and adjustments

are made accordingly.

The Traction Control™ system will allow your vehicle to make better use

of available traction on slippery surfaces. The system is a driver aid

which makes your vehicle easier to handle primarily on snow and ice

covered roads.

During Traction Control™ operation the engine will not “rev-up” when

you push further on the accelerator. This is normal system behavior.
