Do not alter or modify your vehicle's suspension or steering; the
resulting changes to the vehicle's handling can adversely affect
the AdvanceTrac with RSC system.
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 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. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.
If a failure is detected in the AdvanceTrac with RSC system, and the
AdvanceTrac with RSC button has not been pushed, the warning
indicator light in the instrument cluster will stay on. If the warning
indicator light in the instrument cluster remains on while the engine is
running, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.

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
