Driving when the system is active and an indicator light in the control button that will illuminate when the system is turned off. In vehicles with a message center, the message "ADVANCETRAC OFF" will be displayed. If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac௢ system, the warning indicator light in the instrument cluster will stay on. If the warning indicator light in the instrument cluster remains on while the engine is running, have the system serviced immediately. Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the AdvanceTrac௢ performs a system self-check. During AdvanceTrac௢ operation you may experience the following: • A rumble or grinding noise • A slight deceleration 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. • If the driving 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. Do not alter or modify your vehicle's suspension or steering; the resulting changes to the vehicle's handling can adversely affect the AdvanceTrac௢ system. Also, do not install a stereo loudspeaker near the rear console or either rear seat. The speaker vibrations can adversely affect the AdvanceTrac௢ 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 a Traction Control௢ 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. 223
