Vehicle-trailer combination stabilisation
(depending on country-specific vehicle equipment)
Vehicle-trailer combination stabilisation is an
assistance function for driving with trailers as part
of Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
Vehicle-trailer combination stabilisation detects
snaking of the vehicle-trailer combination.
If such critical driving situations are detected, the
vehicle-trailer combination stabilisation function
brakes the vehicle until the combination is stabi-
lised.
The vehicle-trailer combination cannot be stabi-
lised in all driving situations. Slippery roads or a
loose surface can cause the trailer to jackknife,
for example. Trailers with a high centre of gravity
can tip over.
f Steer carefully during the control process.
f For further information on driving with a trailer:
Please observe the chapter "DRIVING WITH A
TRAILER" on Page 238.
Danger!
Risk of accident.
In spite of the advantages of vehicle-trailer
combination stabilisation, it is still the
driver's responsibility to adapt his driving
style and manoeuvres in line with road and
weather conditions, as well as the traffic
situation.
The increased safety that is provided should
not induce you to take greater risks with your
safety. The limits set by the physics of driving
cannot be overcome, even with vehicle-
trailer combination stabilisation.
Risks of accident due to inappropriate speed
cannot be reduced by vehicle-trailer combi-
nation stabilisation.
Risk of accident.
The vehicle-trailer combination cannot be
stabilised if the trailer jackknifes (e.g. on
slippery roads or on loose surfaces).
f Adjust your driving style to the road conditions.
Risk of accident.
Trailers with a high centre of gravity can tip
over.
f Adjust your driving style.
Risk of accident.
Excessive speed under the prevailing driving
conditions can lead to loss of control of the
vehicle-trailer combination.
f When using the vehicle with a trailer, drive at a
speed appropriate to road and traffic condi-
tions, as well as adjusted to the loading situa-
tion.
f Never exceed a speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph).
