FORD 2013 Taurus v.3 - Manual (Page 215)

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
WARNING: Vehicle modifications involving braking system,
aftermarket roof racks, suspension, steering system, tire
construction and wheel or 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 AdvanceTrac® 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 is 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.
