PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNINGS

Vehicle modifications involving braking

system, aftermarket roof racks,

suspension, steering system, tire

construction and wheel and tire size may

change the handling characteristics of your

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.

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

WARNINGS

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

system helps you keep control of your

vehicle when on a slippery surface. The

electronic stability control portion of the

system helps avoid skids and lateral slides

and roll stability control helps avoid a vehicle

rollover. The traction control system helps

avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
