PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNINGS
Vehicle modifications involving braking
system, aftermarket roof racks,
suspension, steering system, tire
construction and wheel and 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. 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 WARNINGS
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 AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control
system helps you keep control of your
vehicle when on a slippery surface. The
electronic stability control portion of the
system helps avoid skids and lateral slides
and roll stability control helps avoid a vehicle
rollover. The traction control system helps
avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
See Using Traction Control (page 187).

secure location, such as the center
console or the glove box, when your vehicle
is moving. Hard objects may become
projectiles in a crash or sudden stop, which
may increase the risk of serious injury. The
audio extension cable must be long enough
to allow the portable music player to be
safely stored while your vehicle is moving. The auxiliary input jack allows you to connect
and play music from your portable music
player through your vehicle speakers. You
can use any portable music player designed
for use with headphones. Your audio
extension cable must have male 1/8th-inch
(3.5 millimeter) connectors at each end.
