216 Stability Control PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION WARNING: Vehicle modifications involving braking system, aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire construction or wheel/tire size may change the handling characteristics of the vehicle and may adversely affect the performance of the AdvanceTrac௡ system. In addition, installing any stereo loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the AdvanceTrac௡ 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௡ sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of the AdvanceTrac௡ 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௡ 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௡ system activates, SLOW DOWN. The AdvanceTrac௡ with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC௡) system helps you keep control of your vehicle when on a slippery surface. The electronic stability control (ESC) portion of the system helps avoid skids and lateral slides and roll stability control helps avoid a vehicle rollover. The traction control system (TCS) helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. For details on TCS operation, see the Traction Control chapter. 2013 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing USA (fus)
