Trailer Sway Control (TSC)

TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize an exces-

sively swaying trailer and will take the appropriate

actions to attempt to stop the sway. The system may

reduce engine power and apply the brake of the appro-

priate wheel(s) to counteract the sway of the trailer. TSC

will become active automatically once an excessively

swaying trailer is recognized. Note that TSC cannot stop

all trailers from swaying. Always use caution when

towing a trailer and follow the trailer tongue weight

recommendations. Refer to “Trailer Towing” in this sec-

tion for further information. When TSC is functioning,

the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” will

flash, the engine power may be reduced and you may

feel the brakes being applied to individual wheels to

attempt to stop the trailer from swaying. TSC is disabled

when the ESC system is in the “Partial Off” mode.

WARNING!

If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle
down, stop at the nearest safe location, and adjust the
trailer load to eliminate trailer sway.
