Hills
A vehicle-trailer combination has the tendency to
swing more readily on hills.
Manually shift down to the next-lowest gear be‐
fore driving on a hill and drive downhill slowly.
Trailer stabilization control
Principle
This system supports the driver in stopping the
swinging of a trailer.
The trailer stabilization control detects swinging
and automatically brakes the vehicle quickly to
leave the critical speed range and stabilize the
vehicle-trailer combination.
General information
If the trailer power socket is occupied but a trailer
has not been hitched, the system can become
active in certain driving situations, such as when
using a bicycle rack with lighting.
Functional requirement
The system is functional at speeds beginning at
approx. 40 mph/65 km/h while a trailer is being
towed and the trailer power socket is occupied.
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, be‐
fore swinging is detected.
▷
If DSC Dynamic Stability Control is deacti‐
vated or has malfunctioned.
▷
When the power consumption of a trailer is
too low, for instance due to tail lights in LED
technology, to be detected by the system.
Activating trailer towing
Principle
When driving with a trailer or load carrier and the
trailer socket not occupied, some driver assis‐
tance systems may have functional limitations or
may malfunction. To prevent malfunctions, acti‐
vate trailer towing.
