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. TSC cannot stop all trailers

from swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer

and follow the tongue weight recommendations. Refer to

“Trailer Towing” in “Starting and Operating” 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 ЉESC Partial OffЉ or ЉESC Full OffЉ

modes.

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.

Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped

HDC is only intended for low speed off-road driving.

HDC maintains vehicle speed while descending hills in

off-road driving conditions by applying the brakes when

necessary.

The symbol indicates the status of the Hill

Descent Control (HDC) feature. The lamp will

be on solid when HDC is armed. HDC can only

be armed when the transfer case is in the “4WD

LOW” position and the vehicle speed is less then 30 mph

(48 km/h). If these conditions are not met while attempt-

ing to use the HDC feature, the HDC indicator light will

flash on/off.
