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. Trailer sway control is only enabled above 40 mph (64 km/h). WARNING: Trailer sway control does not prevent a trailer from swaying. It mitigates the sway from increasing once it has occurred. If you are experiencing trailer sway, it is likely that the trailer is improperly loaded for the correct tongue weight or the speed of the vehicle and trailer is too high. Pull the vehicle-trailer over to a safe location to check the trailer weight distribution and tongue load, and reduce speed to a safe level while towing. If trailer sway is experienced, SLOW DOWN. 248 TCS Enabled Disabled Enabled the con- 2012 Edge (edg) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
