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

௡ 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.

WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac

௡ system, the stability control light and the stability

control off light will illuminate steadily. If the stability control light and
the stability control off light illuminate steadily, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the system serviced
immediately. Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac

௡ disabled could

lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death.

The AdvanceTrac

௡ system automatically enables each time the engine is

started. All features of the AdvanceTrac

௡ system (TCS and ESC) are

active and monitor the vehicle from start-up. However, the system will
only intervene if the driving situation requires it.

The AdvanceTrac

௡ system includes

a stability control button on the
center console, a stability control
light and a stability control off light
in the instrument cluster. Both the
stability control light and the
stability control off light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate
temporarily during start-up as part of a normal system self-check. The
stability control light may illuminate (flash) during certain driving
situations which cause the AdvanceTrac

௡ system to operate. If the

stability control light and the stability control off light illuminate steadily,
contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the system
serviced immediately. If equipped with a message center, the vehicle will
also indicate a failure with the AdvanceTrac

௡ system.
