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 Full Off" modes. Refer to the ESC portion
of this section for an explanation of the different
ESC operating modes.
NOTE:
TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying.
WARNING!
If the TSC activates while driving, slow the
vehicle down, stop at the nearest safe loca-
tion, and adjust the trailer load to eliminate
trailer sway.

Ready Alert Braking (RAB)

Ready Alert Braking may reduce the time re-
quired to reach full braking during emergency
braking situations. It anticipates when an emer-
gency braking situation may occur by monitor-
ing how fast the throttle is released by the driver.
When the throttle is released very quickly,
Ready Alert Braking applies a small amount of
brake pressure. This brake pressure will not be

noticed by the driver. The brake system uses
this brake pressure to allow a fast brake re-
sponse if the driver applies the brakes.

Rain Brake Support (RBS)

Rain Brake Support may improve braking per-
formance in wet conditions. It will periodically
apply a small amount of brake pressure to
remove any water buildup on the front brake
rotors. It is triggered by the windshield wiper
setting and only functions when they are in use.
When Rainy Brake Support is active, there is no
notification to the driver and no driver interac-
tion is required.

Dynamic Steering Torque (DST)

Dynamic Steering Torque is a feature of the
ESC and EPS modules that provide a torque at
the steering wheel for certain driving conditions
in which the ESC module is detecting vehicle
instability. The torque that the steering wheel
receives is only meant to help the driver realize
optimal steering behavior in order to reach/
maintain vehicle stability. The only notification
the driver receives that the feature is active is
the torque applied to the steering wheel.
NOTE:
The DST feature is only meant to help the
driver realize the correct course of action
through small torques on the steering
wheel, which means the effectiveness of the
DST feature is highly dependent on the driv-
ers sensitivity and overall reaction to the
applied torque. It is very important to realize
that this feature will not steer the vehicle,
meaning the driver is still responsible for
steering the vehicle.
