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
௡ with RSC௡ 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
௡ with RSC௡ system
activates, SLOW DOWN.
WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system, the “sliding car” icon
will
illuminate steadily and you may hear a chime. If equipped with a
message center, the vehicle will also indicate a failure with the Brake
system, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
