Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM). Trailer Sway Control (TSC) - If Equipped
This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by
monitoring the driver's steering wheel input and the
speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate
of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicle's speed
are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it then
applies the appropriate brake and may also reduce
engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will
occur. ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift
occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers; it
cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors, such as
road conditions, leaving the roadway, or striking objects
or other vehicles.
NOTE: ERM is disabled anytime the ESC is in "Full Off"
mode (if equipped). Refer to "Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)" in this section for a complete explanation of the
available ESC modes. 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 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 this section 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.Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road conditions
and driving conditions, influence the chance
that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM cannot
prevent all wheel lift or roll overs, especially those
that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects
or other vehicles. The capabilities of an ERMequipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless
or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the
user's safety or the safety of others.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) - If Equipped
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.
