To Maximize The Effectiveness Of RSP:
• Make sure that the weight of your load is evenly distributed, front to back
and side to side, and is properly secured at all times.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times while driving, and avoid sharp turns,
sudden steering inputs or abrupt lane changes at high speeds, particularly if:
› you haul loads that could shift,
› your vehicle or load has a high or off-set center of gravity (CG)
when loaded, or
› you are towing doubles or triples.
Truck Chassis Modifications
The RSP system was specifically calibrated and validated only for your vehicle’s
original configuration. If your vehicle’s chassis components are altered (for
example, a wheel base extension or reduction, tag axle addition or removal, a
major body change such as conversion of a tractor into a truck, or an axle,
suspension, or steering system component modification) the Bendix
® RSP system
must be disabled at the same time by a qualified mechanic. If a modified
vehicle does not have the RSP system disabled, serious vehicle braking and
performance issues could result, including unnecessary ABS interventions. See
your Vehicle’s Owner’s Manual or Bendix Service Data Sheet SD-13-4869 for
additional important information about configuration criteria.
Steering Angle Sensor Re-Calibration
Whenever maintenance or repair work is performed to the steering mechanism,
linkage, steering gear, adjustment of the wheel track, or if the steering angle
sensor is replaced, a recalibration of the Steering Angle Sensor must be
performed. If the Steering Angle Sensor is not recalibrated, the RSP Stability
System effectiveness may be reduced.
