Roll Stability Advisor
IMPORTANT: This is not an advance warning
system. The RSA displays a message only after
the driving maneuver is completed.
The roll stability system uses a lateral-acceleration
sensor that monitors rollover risk. Shortly after a
curve, lane change, or other driving maneuver that
results in a rollover risk detection, a dash warning
light illuminates, an audible tone sounds, and an ad-
visory message is displayed in the driver message
center. The purpose is to advise the driver that the
previous maneuver produced a rollover risk.
The RSA displays different text messages depending
on the severity of the risk of each rollover risk occur-
rence. From the highest risk level to the lowest risk
level, the system will sound a warning tone and dis-
play a message, as shown in
Fig. 4.28.
NOTE: The system will calculate and recom-
mend a speed reduction value. It may be differ-
ent than the values shown here.
Bring the vehicle to an authorized Freightliner service
facility if a system failure message is displayed.
