ADVANCETRAC STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM
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 Advance Trac 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.
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 Љsliding carЉ icon will illuminate
steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac system is not manually disabled
(push the AdvanceTrac “Off button located on the center of the
instrument panel). If the Љsliding carЉ icon
still illuminates steadily,
have the system service by an authorized dealer immediately.
Operating your vehicle with AdvanceTrac disabled could lead to an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
