Electronic Trailer Sway Control

Electronic Trailer Sway Control is integrated into the

StabiliTrak

system of your vehicle. This feature detects

the occurrence of trailer sway that may be caused by

improper trailer weight balance, or excessive vehicle

speed. When the system detects trailer sway, the

StabiliTrak

system may begin to apply the front brakes,

without you pressing the brake pedal, to help you in

stabilizing the vehicle. The StabiliTrak

warning light will

ﬂash to indicate that you should reduce vehicle speed.

If the trailer sway continues, StabiliTrak

will reduce

engine torque as a method to reduce the speed of the

vehicle. Reducing the speed of the vehicle is necessary

to reduce trailer sway. Electronic Trailer Sway Control

is de-activated when StabiliTrak

is turned off, and

is re-activated when it is turned back on. See

StabiliTrak

System on page 4-7.

Following Distance

Stay at least twice as far behind the vehicle ahead as

you would when driving your vehicle without a trailer.

This can help you avoid situations that require

heavy braking and sudden turns.

Passing

You will need more passing distance up ahead when

you are towing a trailer. And, because you are a

good deal longer, you will need to go much farther

beyond the passed vehicle before you can return to

your lane.

Backing Up

Hold the bottom of the steering wheel with one hand.

Then, to move the trailer to the left, just move that hand

to the left. To move the trailer to the right, move your

hand to the right. Always back up slowly and, if possible,

have someone guide you.

Making Turns

Notice: Making very sharp turns while trailering

could cause the trailer to come in contact with the

vehicle. Your vehicle could be damaged. Avoid

making very sharp turns while trailering.

When you are turning with a trailer, make wider turns

than normal. Do this so your trailer will not strike

soft shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees or other objects.

Avoid jerky or sudden maneuvers. Signal well in

advance.
