Trailer Sway Control (Tsc) - If Equipped - Chrysler 1500 Owner's Manual

538 STARTING AND OPERATING
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) — If Equipped
The TSC system uses sensors in the vehicle to recognize
an excessively swaying trailer and will take the appro-
priate actions to attempt to stop the sway. The system
may reduce engine power and apply the brake of the
appropriate wheel(s) to counteract the sway of the trailer.
TSC will become active automatically once an excessively
swaying trailer is recognized. No driver action is re-
quired to activate. Note that 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.
TSC is only active in the default "ESC On" mode. TSC
can be disabled by pressing the "ESC Off" switch and
entering "ESC Partial Off" mode. It is not active in the
"ESC Partial Off" or "ESC Off" modes. Refer to the ESC
portion of this section for an explanation of the different
ESC operating 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.
