Introduction

The Sway Command™ Tow Control system is a self-contained
trailer stability control module that detects undesirable trailer
movement from external sensors and mitigates it by adaptively
applying a variable braking voltage to the left and right trailer
electric brakes. This system is currently only for use on travel
trailers.
The Sway Command™ Tow Control system uses sensors
to detect excessive trailer sway. The system activates
automatically and applies voltage proportional to the amount
of sway detected to the electric trailer brakes. This dampens
the sway and slows down the trailer. When excessive sway
is detected, the light pod will blink red and the tow vehicle
operator may feel the trailer brakes activate until the sway is
dampened.
Causes of Sway
• When the tongue weight is less than 10% of the trailer's
weight, it has a natural tendency to sway.
• Improper weight distribution hitch adjustments.
• Crosswinds.
• A transfer truck passing from the rear of the trailer.
• Descending inclines.
• Towing speeds.
• Tow vehicle not properly matched for the trailer.
• Improper loading, overloading and poor weight distribution on
the trailer.
• Incorrect tire infl ation.
Always infl ate tires per
manufacturer's specifi cations. In
addition to causing sway, improper
tire infl ation may cause premature
tire wear, poor handling, reduced
fuel economy or blowouts. Check tire
infl ation weekly when the tires are
cold before operation.
Note: The Sway Command™ System is not a replacement
for using sway control bars when towing a travel trailer.
Sway control bars should be used in conjunction with
the Sway Command™ System.
