trailer stabilization
If your vehicle with trailer (vehicle/trailer
combination) begins to lurch, you can only
stabilize the vehicle/trailer combination by
depressing the brake firmly.
In this situation, ESP
®
assists you and can
detect if the vehicle/trailer combination
begins to lurch. ESP
®
slows the vehicle down
by braking and limiting the engine output until
the vehicle/trailer combination has
stabilized.
Trailer stabilization is active from a speed of
approximately 40 mph(65 km/h).

is
deactivated or disabled because of a
malfunction.
