Trailer Sway Control precaution
The Trailer Sway Control system is
not able to reduce trailer sway in all
situations. Depending on many fac-
tors such as the conditions of the
vehicle, trailer, road surface and driv-
ing environment, the Trailer Sway
Control system may not be effective.
Refer to your trailer owner's manual
for information on how to tow your
trailer properly.
■
If trailer sway occurs
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
●
Firmly grip the steering wheel.
Steer straight ahead. Do not try to
control trailer swaying by turning
the steering wheel.
●
Begin releasing the accelerator
pedal immediately but very gradu-
ally to reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not
apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction
with the steering or brakes, your vehi-
cle and trailer should stabilize.
