• 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.
WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
with RSC system, the stability control light and
stability control off light will illuminate steadily. Verify that the
AdvanceTrac
with RSC system was not manually disabled through
the message center. If the stability control light and stability control off
light still illuminate steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac
with
RSC
disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,
vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
