Trailer stabilization control
Principle
Trailer stabilization control helps by absorbing
the swinging movements of the trailer.
The system detects swinging and automati-
cally brakes the vehicle quickly in order to leave
the critical speed range and stabilize the car-
trailer combination.
General information
If the trailer power socket is occupied but a
trailer has not been hitched, this system can
also activate in extreme driving situations, e.g.,
when using a rear bicycle rack with lighting.
Functional requirement
▷ A trailer is attached.
▷ The trailer power socket is occupied.
▷ Vehicle speed must be more than approx.
40 mph/65 km/h.
System limits
The system cannot intervene or not intervene
in time in the following situations, for instance:
▷ If a trailer jackknifes suddenly, for instance
on slippery roads or loose surfaces.
▷ If a trailer with a high center of gravity tilts,
before swinging is detected.
▷ If Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated
or has malfunctioned.
▷ When the power consumption of a trailer is
too low, for instance due to tail lights with
LED technology, to be detected by the sys-
tem.
Brake Controller
The vehicle manufacturer recommends having
a brake controller installed by an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
Information on brake controller installation can
be obtained from an authorized service center
