To turn off traction control in the AdvanceTrac system, select traction
control off in the message center. Full features of the AdvanceTrac
system can be restored by selecting it on again or by turning off and
restarting the engine.
If you switch off traction control in
the AdvanceTrac with RSC
system, the stability control off light
will illuminate steadily. Selecting
traction control on again will turn
off the stability control off light.
Note: In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine traction control and brake
traction control features will continue to function; however, ESC, RSC
and Curve Control are disabled.
Note: Curve Control can be disabled with the terrain management
control (if equipped). See Terrain Management later in this chapter.

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. Trailer sway control is only enabled above
40 mph (64 km/h).
