serves to stabilise the car/trailer combination.
This is often enough to help the driver regain
control of the car.
If snaking is not eliminated the first time that
trailer stability assist intervenes, the car/trailer
combination is braked with all wheels and
engine power is reduced. Once snaking has
been gradually suppressed and the car/trailer
combination is stable once again, the system
stops regulating and the driver once again has
full control of the car.
NOTE
The stability function is deactivated if the
driver selects Sport mode by deactivating
ESC
via the menu system in the centre
display.
Trailer stability assist may fail to intervene if
the driver uses severe steering wheel move-
ments to try to rectify the snaking because in
such a situation the system cannot determine
whether it is the trailer or the driver causing
the snaking.
