ADVANCETRAC姞 WITH ROLL STABILITY CONTROL™ (RSC姞)

STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM

The AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system provides the following stability

enhancement features for certain driving situations:

• Traction control system (TCS), which functions to help avoid

drive-wheel spin and loss of traction.

• Electronic stability control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids

or lateral slides.

• Roll Stability Control™ (RSC威), which functions to help avoid a

vehicle roll-over.

• Curve Control, which functions to help maintain the desired turn by

reducing speed.

WARNING: Vehicle modifications involving braking system,

aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire

construction and/or wheel/tire size may change the handling

characteristics of the vehicle and may adversely affect the performance

of the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system. In addition, installing any

stereo loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the

AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system. Install any aftermarket stereo

loudspeaker as far as possible from the front center console, the

tunnel, and the front seats in order to minimize the risk of interfering

with the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 sensors. Reducing the effectiveness

of the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system could lead to an increased risk

of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

WARNING: Remember that even advanced technology cannot

defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a

vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive

driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your

vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.

Activation of the AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system is an indication that

at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road;

this could reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle,

potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,

personal injury and death. If your AdvanceTrac威 with RSC威 system

activates, SLOW DOWN.
