Trailer Stability Control (TSC)

If the vehicle sways while being driven and towing a trailer, the TSC automatically controls braking and engine torque to suppress the swaying and enhance vehicle stability.

The TSC is operable at a vehicle speed of about 65 km/h (40 mph) or more.

When the TSC operates while driving the vehicle, the TCS/DSC indicator light flashes.

Refer to TCS/DSC Indicator Light (Search).

 

Do not rely solely on the TSC

Assured vehicle stability is limited even if the TSC is operating. Drive carefully to prevent accidents.

In particular, if the TCS/DSC indicator light is flashing, drive the vehicle carefully as it is in a less stable condition and could sway more easily. Drive with caution and in accordance with the road, vehicle and trailer conditions.

  • The TSC may not operate correctly unless the following are observed:

    • Use tires of the correct size specified for your Mazda on all four wheels.

    • Use tires of the same manufacturer, brand and tread pattern on all four wheels.

    • Do not mix worn tires.

  • The TSC may not operate correctly when tire chains are used or a temporary spare tire is installed because the tire diameter changes.
