Some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake pedal when the
AdvanceTrac
y
performs a system self-check. During AdvanceTrac
y
/Roll
Stabilty Control operation you may experience the following:
•
A rumble or grinding noise
•
A slight deceleration of the vehicle
•
The AdvanceTrac
y
indicator light will flash
•
If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the
pedal.
•
If the driving condition is severe and your foot is not on the brake, the
brake pedal will move to apply higher brake forces. You may also hear
a whoosh of air from under the instrument panel during this severe
condition.
All these conditions are normal during AdvanceTrac
y
/Roll Stability
Control operation.
Do not alter or modify your vehicle’s suspension or steering; the
resulting changes to the vehicle’s handling can adversely affect
the AdvanceTrac
y
/Roll Stability Control system. Also, do not
install a stereo loudspeaker near the rear console or either rear
seat. The speaker vibrations can adversely affect the
AdvanceTrac
y
/Roll Stability Control sensors located in this area.
Note:
Pressing the AdvanceTrac
y
button will disable AdvanceTrac
y
and
Roll Stability Control.
Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal
injury or property damage. The occurrence of a AdvanceTrac
y
/Roll
Stability Control 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. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.
STEERING
To prevent damage to the power steering system, never hold the steering
wheel at its furthest turning points (until it stops) for more than a few
seconds when the engine is running.
It is also important to maintain a proper power steering fluid level in the
power steering fluid reservoir:
•
Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level
(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).
