Trailer Sway Control
When properly equipped, trailer sway control will use the vehicle’s
AdvanceTrac
௡ with RSC௡ system to detect and help reduce trailer sway
by applying brake force at individual wheels and, if necessary, by
reducing engine power.
WARNING: Trailer sway control does not prevent a trailer from
swaying, it mitigates the sway from increasing once it has
occurred. If you are experiencing trailer sway it is likely that the trailer
is improperly loaded for the correct tongue weight or the speed of the
vehicle and trailer is too high. Pull the vehicle-trailer over to a safe
location to check the trailer weight distribution and tongue load and
reduce speed to a safe level while towing. If trailer sway is
experienced, SLOW DOWN.
