Trailer stabiliser - TSA 17
The trailer stability assist (TSA - Trailer Stability Assist) function is designed to stabi-lise the car and trailer combination if it beginsto snake. The trailer stability assist is included in the stability and traction control system (p. 175)(DSTC - Dynamic Stability and TractionControl).
FunctionThe snaking phenomenon can occur with anycar/trailer combination. Snaking normallyoccurs at high speeds. But, there is a risk of itoccurring at lower speeds (70-90 km/h) if thetrailer is overloaded or the load is improperlydistributed, e.g. too far back. In order for snaking to occur, there must be a triggering factor, e.g.:
• Car with trailer subjected to a sudden and powerful side wind.
• Car with trailer drives on an uneven roadsurface or in a pothole.
• Sweeping steering wheel movements.
OperationIf snaking has started, it could be difficult or even impossible to suppress. This makes thecar/trailer combination difficult to control andthere is a risk that you could, for example,

end up in the wrong lane or leave the car- riageway. The trailer stability assist continually monitors the car's movements, particularly lateralmovements. If snaking is detected, the frontwheels are individually braked. This serves tostabilise the car/trailer combination. This isoften enough to help the driver regain controlof the car. If snaking is not eliminated the first time the trailer stability assist comes into action, thecar/trailer combination is braked with allwheels and engine power is reduced. Oncesnaking has been gradually suppressed andthe car/trailer combination is stable onceagain, the system stops regulating and thedriver once again has full control of the car.For more information, see Stability and trac-tion control system (DSTC) - operation (p.176)
MiscellaneousThe trailer stability assist can engage withinthe speed interval 60-160 km/h.
NOTE
TSA function is switched off if the driver selects Sport mode, see Stability and
traction control system (DSTC) (p. 175).
The trailer stability assist may fail to engage if the driver uses sudden steering wheel move-ments to try to rectify the snaking because in such a situation the system cannot determinewhether it is the trailer or the driver that iscausing the snaking.
When the trailer stability assist isworking, the combined instrument
panel's DSTC symbol flashes.

Towing
During towing, one vehicle is towed by another vehicle using a tow rope.
IMPORTANT
Note that the car must always be towed with the wheels rolling forward. Do not tow the vehicle at speeds higher than 80 km/h or for distances in excess of80 km.
Find out the statutory maximum speed limit for towing before towing begins.
1. Unlock the steering lock by inserting the
remote control key in the ignition switch and giving a long press on the START/
STOP ENGINE button - key position II is
activated, see Key positions (p. 70) formore information about key positions.
2. The remote control key must remain in the ignition switch while the car is beingtowed.
3. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehicle reduces speed by holding yourfoot gently pressed on the brake pedal -thereby avoiding unnecessary jerking.
4. Be prepared to brake to stop.

Weights
Max. gross vehicle weight, etc. can be read on a label in the car. Kerb weight includes the driver, the fuel tank 90% full and all fluids. The weight of passengers and accessories, and towball load (p. 391) (when a trailer ishitched) influence the load capacity and arenot included in the kerb weight. Permitted max. load = Gross vehicle weight - Kerb weight.
NOTE
The documented kerb weight applies to cars in the standard version - i.e. a carwithout extra equipment or accessories.This means that for every accessory addedthe loading capacity of the car is reducedcorrespondingly by the weight of theaccessory. Examples of accessories that reduce load- ing capacity are the Kinetic/Momentum/Summum equipment levels, as well asother accessories such as Towbar, Loadcarriers, Space box, Audio system, Auxili-ary lamps, GPS, Fuel-driven heater, Safetygrille, Carpets, Cargo cover, Power seats,etc. Weighing the car is a certain way of ascer- taining the kerb weight of your own partic-ular car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics change depending on how heavily it is loaded andhow the load is distributed.
For information on label location, see Type des- ignations (p. 386).
