and weather conditions
In poor road and weather conditions, the
trailer stabilisation cannot pr event lur ching of
th eve hicle/trailer combination. Trailers with a
high cent reofgrav ity may tip over before
ESP ®
de tects this. #
Always adapt your driving style tosuit
th e cur rent road and weather conditions. When driving with a trailer, ESP
®
can stabilise
yo ur vehicle if the trailer begins toswer vefrom
side toside:
R ESP ®
trailer stabilisation is active abo ve
speeds of 65 km/h.
R Slight swerving is reduced bymeans of a tar-
ge ted, individual brake application on one
side.
R Intheev ent of se vere swerving, the operating
energy output is also reduced and all wheels
are braked. ESP

trailer stabilisation may be impaired or may
not function if:
