Ford Escape: Disabling trailer sway control
Trailer sway control can be disabled during any key cycle. Pressing and holding the stability control button for more than five seconds will disable the trailer sway control feature and the stability control light will flash momentarily and then illuminate solid for that ignition cycle. Trailer sway control can be re-enabled by momentarily pressing the stability control button. Trailer sway control will also be re-enabled at each new key cycle.
WARNING: Turning off trailer sway control increases the risk of
loss of vehicle control, serious injury, or death. Ford does not
recommend disabling this feature except in situations where speed
reduction may be detrimental (e.g., hill climbing), the driver has
significant trailer towing experience, and can control trailer sway and
maintain safe operation.
