ADVANCETRAC

STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM

The AdvanceTrac

௡ 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

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

௡ 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.
