WARNING: Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause

you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe

personal injury or death. The occurrence of a AdvanceTrac威 with RSC

event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded

their ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss

of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Operating

your vehicle with AdvanceTrac威 with RSC system disabled may

severely reduce your ability to control your vehicle. If you experience a

severe road event or any loss of vehicle control, SLOW DOWN.

Driving conditions which may activate AdvanceTrac威 with RSC system

include:

• Taking a turn too fast.

• Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle.

• Hitting a patch of ice.

• Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road.

• Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice

versa.

• Entering a paved road from a gravel road, or vice versa.

• Hitting a curb while turning.

• Driving on slick surfaces.

• Cornering while towing a heavily loaded trailer (refer to Trailer

towing in the Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter.)

The RSC system works in conjunction with the AdvanceTrac威 system to

further enhance the vehicle’s overall stability during aggressive

maneuvers. The system helps maintain roll stability of the vehicle during

aggressive maneuvers by applying brake force to one or more wheels.

Driving conditions that may activate Roll Stability Control include:

• Emergency lane-change

• Taking a turn too fast

• Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle

The AdvanceTrac威 with RSC system automatically turns on when the

engine is started. However, the system does not function when the

vehicle is traveling in R (Reverse). In R (Reverse), ABS and the traction

enhancement feature will continue to function.
