ADVANCETRAC

WITH ROLL STABILITY CONTROL™ (RSC)

STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM
(SINGLE REAR WHEEL (SRW) VEHICLES ONLY)

The AdvanceTrac

௡ with RSC௡ system provides the following stability

enhancement features for certain driving situations:
• Traction control system (TCS), which functions to help avoid

drive-wheel spin and loss of traction.

• Electronic stability control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids

or lateral slides.

• Roll Stability Control™ (RSC௡), which functions to help avoid a

vehicle roll-over.

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

௡ 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.
