Function of ESP® trailer stabilisation
WARNING Risk of accident in poor road and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the trailer stabilisation cannot prevent lurching of the vehicle/trailer combination. Trailers with a high centre of gravity may tip over before ESP® detects this.
Always adapt your driving style to suit the current road and weather conditions.
When you are driving with a trailer, ESP® trailer stabilisation can stabilise your vehicle if it begins to swerve from side to side:
If the system detects the trailer, ESP® trailer stabilisation is active at speeds above approximately 65 km/h.
Minor swerving is reduced by a targeted, individual brake application on one side.
In the event of severe swerving, the engine output is also reduced and all wheels are braked.
