ADVANCETRACா WITH ROLL STABILITY CONTROL™ (RSCா) STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM Your vehicle is equipped with the AdvanceTrac with RSC system. The AdvanceTrac with RSC 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), which functions to help avoid a vehicle roll-over. 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 with RSC system. In addition, installing any stereo loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the AdvanceTrac with RSC 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 with RSC sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac with RSC system could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. 261 2010 Flex (471) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
