ADVANCETRAC

WITH ROLL STABILITY CONTROL™ (RSC)

STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC௡ system provides the following stability

enhancement features for certain driving situations:
• Traction control system (TCS), which functions to help avoid

drive-wheel spin and loss of traction.

• Electronic stability control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids

or lateral slides.

• Roll Stability Control™ (RSC௡), which functions to help avoid a

vehicle roll-over.

WARNING: Vehicle modifications involving braking system,
aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire

construction and/or wheel/tire size may change the handling
characteristics of the vehicle and may adversely affect the performance
of the AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC௡ system. In addition, installing any

stereo loudspeakers may interfere with and adversely affect the
AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC௡ 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

௡ with RSC௡ sensors. Reducing the effectiveness

of the AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC௡ 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

௡ 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.
