During AdvanceTracy operation you may experience the following:
• A rumble or clicking sound much like ABS or Traction Controly
• A slight deceleration or a reduction in the acceleration of the vehicle
• The “TRAC ACTIVE” indicator light will illuminate
• If your foot is on the brake pedal, you will feel a vibration in the pedal
much like ABS. As with any vehicle equipped with four-wheel ABS, do
not pump the brakes, but instead, press firmly on the pedal.
• If 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 kind of braking.
All these conditions are normal during AdvanceTracy operation.
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 an AdvanceTracy event
is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their
ability to grip the road and that you may lose control of the vehicle. If
you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.
If you find yourself regularly experiencing AdvanceTracy events,
you are driving too fast for conditions, you should reduce your
speed, and drive less aggressively. Speed Control should NOT be used
under these conditions. AdvanceTrac is limited by the laws of physics.
It is always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate
driver inputs for the conditions. The occurrence of an AdvanceTracy
event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this may cause you to lose control of the
vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal injury or property
damage.
STEERING
Your vehicle is equipped with power steering. Power steering uses energy
from the engine to decrease the driver’s effort in steering the vehicle.
To prevent damage to the power steering pump:
• Never hold the steering wheel to the extreme right or the extreme left
for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.
• Do not operate the vehicle with the power steering pump fluid level
below the MIN mark on the reservoir.
