Trailer mode
1)
Not available in all markets.
●
The trailer has a rigid draw bar.
●
If the trailer has brakes, it must be equipped
with a mechanical overrun brake.
WARNING
The enhanced safety provided by the elec-
tric stability control of the vehicle and trailer
should not lead you to take any risks that
could compromise your safety.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
c conditions.
●
Accelerate with caution when the road is
slippery.
●
When adjusting any settings, stop acceler-
ating.
WARNING
The electric stability control for the vehicle
and trailer may not correctly detect all driv-
ing conditions.
●
When the ESC is switched o, the stabilisa-
tion of the towing vehicle and trailer is also
switched o.
●
The stability system does not always detect
light trailers, so it may not stabilise these cor-
rectly.
●
When driving on surfaces with poor grip,
the trailer can even interfere with the stabil-
ity system.
●
Trailers with a high centre of gravity can tip
over without having previously weaved.
●
If a trailer is not attached, but a connec-
tor is plugged into the power socket (e.g. in-
stallation of a bicycle rack with lights), repea-
ted automatic braking may occur in extreme
driving conditions.
