Trailer Sway Control (Tsc) - Cadillac XT5 2017 Owner's Manual

The electric trailer brake controller
should be installed by your dealer or a
qualified service center.
TRAILER SWAY
CONTROL (TSC)
Vehicles with StabiliTrak have a
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) feature.
Trailer sway is unintended side-to-side
motion of a trailer while being towed.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer and
the TSC detects that sway is
increasing, the vehicle brakes are
selectively applied at each wheel, to
help reduce excessive trailer sway.
If the vehicle is equipped with the
Integrated Trailer Brake Control (ITBC)
system, and the trailer has the electric
actuated brake system, StabiliTrak
may also apply the trailer brakes.
If TSC is enabled, the Traction Control
System (TCS)/StabiliTrak warning light
will flash on the instrument cluster.
Vehicle speed must be reduced.
If trailer sway continues, StabiliTrak
can reduce engine torque to help slow
the vehicle. See Traction Control/
Electronic Stability Control 0 206.
Warning
Even if the vehicle is equipped with
TSC, trailer sway could result in loss
of control and the vehicle could
crash. If excessive trailer sway is
detected, slow down to a safe speed.
Check the trailer and vehicle to help
correct possible causes. These could
include an improperly or overloaded
trailer, unrestrained cargo, improper
trailer hitch configuration, excessive
vehicle-trailer speed, or improperly
inflated or incorrect vehicle or
trailer tires. See Towing Equipment
0 243 for trailer ratings and hitch
setup recommendations.
Adding non-dealer accessories can
affect the vehicle performance. See
Accessories and Modifications 0 248.

driver-behavior tracking device
may interfere with vehicle systems.
This could affect vehicle operation
and cause a crash. Such devices may
also access information stored in
the vehicle s systems.
