economy.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) 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 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.
