Driving During AdvanceTrac operation you may experience the following: • A rumble or grinding sound much like ABS or Traction Control • A slight deceleration or a reduction in the acceleration of the vehicle • The AdvanceTrac indicator light will flash • If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the pedal much like ABS. As with any vehicle equipped with four-wheel ABS, do not pump the brakes, but instead, press firmly on the pedal. • If the condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake, the brake pedal will move to apply higher brake forces. You may also hear a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during this severe condition. All these conditions are normal during AdvanceTrac operation. 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 event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road and that you may lose control of the vehicle. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN. If you find yourself regularly experiencing AdvanceTrac events, you are driving too fast for conditions, you should reduce your speed, and drive less aggressively. AdvanceTrac is limited by the laws of physics. It is always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver inputs for the conditions. The occurrence of an AdvanceTrac event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this may cause you to lose control of the vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal injury or property damage.
