3.8 Electronic Trailer Stabilisation (ETS)*
ETS Plus is a safety system that can be retrotted for HOBBY trailers
up to Model 660 with a mechanical overrun brake. It automatically
recognises if the trailer starts to swing and, if necessary, can stabilise
the car and trailer by intervening specically in the trailer's brakes.
A special MOT inspection is not required for installing
ETS Plus.
• ETS Plus operates within a temperature range of
-20°C to +65 °C.
• Do not reach into the moving parts of the ETS Plus
central unit!
• The steady plus on the 13-pin socket on the car
must be safeguarded by means of a fuse with at
least 15A.
• The increased level of safety provided by ETS Plus
should not, however, result in undertaking a safety
risk. The vehicle's speed must always be adjusted
to take weather, road and trac conditions into
account.
• The limits imposed by the laws of physics cannot
be suspended by ETS Plus. Please keep this mind
when driving on wet or icy roads.
• Trailers with a high centre of gravity may tilt over
before they begin to swing.
• No improper modications may be/have been
made to the brake system as this could interfere
with the function of the ETS Plus.
Please refer also to the manufacturer's separate ope-
rating instructions.
