Do not alter or modify your vehicle’s suspension or steering; the
resulting changes to the vehicle’s handling can adversely affect

the AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC system.

Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal

injury or death. The occurrence of a AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC event is

an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability
to grip the road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Operating your
vehicle with AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC system disabled may severely

reduce your ability to control your vehicle. If you experience a severe
road event or any loss of vehicle control, SLOW DOWN.

If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC system, and the

AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC button has not been pushed, the warning

indicator light in the instrument cluster will stay on. If the warning
indicator light in the instrument cluster remains on while the engine is
running, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
