Metric Conversion – To obtain information in kilograms, multiply pounds by .45; to obtain information in liters, divide cubic feet by .0353;

(a) Designed to help in real-world situations, such as making emergency
maneuvers or driving on slippery or uneven surfaces, this system
features a vehicle-roll motion sensor in addition to AdvanceTrac’s
ABS, traction control and yaw control. RSC uses the sensor to directly
measure the vehicle’s roll-rate at least 100 times every second, which
helps determine when and how the system will apply individual brakes
and modify engine power to help keep all four wheels firmly planted.
