Trailer Sway Control

Your vehicle may be equipped with 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.
