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 your 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.

•the front bumper or side sensors are damaged (i.e. in a collision) or
