If disabling HSA using Uconnect Settings, refer
to "Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia" for
further information.
For vehicles not equipped with an instrument
cluster display, perform the following steps:
1. Center the steering wheel (front wheels
pointing straight forward).
2. Shift the transmission into PARK.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Start the engine.
5. Rotate the steering wheel slightly more than
one-half turn to the left.
6. Push the "ESC OFF" switch located in the lower
switch bank below the climate control four
times within 20 seconds. The "ESC OFF
Indicator Light" should turn on and turn off two
times.
7. Rotate the steering wheel back to center and
then an additional slightly more than one-half
turn to the right.
8. Place the ignition in the OFF mode and then
back to on. If the sequence was completed
properly, the "ESC OFF Indicator Light" will
blink several times to confirm HSA is disabled.
9. Repeat these steps if you want to return this
feature to its previous setting.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) uses sensors in the
vehicle to recognize an excessively swaying trailer
and will take the appropriate actions to attempt to
stop the sway. TSC will become active
automatically once an excessively swaying trailer is
recognized.
NOTE:
TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always
use caution when towing a trailer and follow the
trailer 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 "Partial
Off" or "Full Off" 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.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) monitors the
amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels.
If wheel spin is detected, the TCS may apply brake
pressure to the spinning wheel(s) and/or reduce
engine power to provide enhanced acceleration and
stability. A feature of the TCS, Brake Limited
Differential (BLD), functions similarly to a limited slip
differential and controls the wheel spin across a
driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning
faster than the other, the system will apply the brake
of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine
torque to be applied to the wheel that is not
spinning. BLD may remain enabled even if TCS and
ESC are in a reduced mode.
