ADVANCETRAC姞 STABILITY ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM

(IF EQUIPPED)

The AdvanceTrac威 system helps the driver maintain the stability and

steer-ability of the vehicle. The system integrates anti-lock braking

system (ABS) and Traction Control娂 and a more advanced function to

further enhance the stability of the vehicle.

AdvanceTrac威 constantly monitors the vehicle motion relative to the

driver’s intended course. This is done by using added sensors that

compare the steering inputs from the driver with the actual motion of

the vehicle. AdvanceTrac威 determines whether an engine torque

reduction or brake application is needed to help control the vehicle. If

the vehicle begins to rotate excessively left or right, spin out, or slide

sideways, the system will attempt to correct the excessive motion. If the

vehicle does not respond to steering inputs, the system will attempt to

increase the turning response of the vehicle.

AdvanceTrac威 enhances your vehicle’s stability during maneuvers that

require all available tire traction, like in wet/snowy/icy road conditions

and/or when performing emergency maneuvers. In an emergency

lane-change, the driver will experience better overall vehicle traction,

and have better control of the vehicle.

Driving conditions which may activate AdvanceTrac威 include:

• Accelerating on a slippery surface

• Taking a turn too fast
