WARNING
The electric stability control for the towing
vehicle and trailer may not correctly de-
tect all driving conditions.
When the ESC is switched off, the stabili-
●
sation of the towing vehicle and trailer is al-
so switched off.
The stability system does not always de-
●
tect light and unstable trailers, so it may
not stabilise these correctly.
When driving on slippery surfaces with
●
poor grip, the trailer can even interfere with
the stability system.
Trailers with a high centre of gravity can
●
tip even without having previously swayed.
If a trailer is not attached, but the trailer
●
power socket is connected (e.g. installation
of a bicycle rack with lights), repeated au-
tomatic braking may occur in extreme driv-
ing conditions.
