Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
(if equipped)
Trailer stability assist is operated a
vehicle stability control system. Trailer
stability assist system stabilizes the
vehicle and trailer when the trailer sways
or oscillates. There are various reasons
making vehicle sway and oscillate. In
most cases it happens at high speed
however, if the trailer is affected by
crosswinds, buffeting, and improper
overloading, it may also be at risk for
sway.
Factors of swaying such as:
- High speed
- Strong crosswinds
- Improper overloading
- Sudden controlling of steering wheel
- Uneven road
Trailer stability assist system
continuously analyzes the vehicle
and trailer instability. When the
Trailer stability assist system detects
some sway, the brakes are applied
automatically to help stabilize the vehicle
on the front wheel. However, if it is
not enough to stabilize, the brakes are
applied on all wheels automatically and
engine power is properly reduced. When
the vehicle is stable from swaying, trailer
stability assist system does not operate.
