The “ESC OFF Indicator Light” indicates the

customer has elected to have the Electronic Sta-

bility Control (ESC) in a reduced mode.

Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)

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.

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 ve-
hicles. The capabilities of an ERM-equipped 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)

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 automati-

cally once an excessively swaying trailer is recognized.

NOTE:

TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always

use caution when towing a trailer and follow the trailer

tongue weight recommendations. Refer to “Trailer Tow-

ing” in “Starting And Operating” for further information.
