High loads and external
temperatures
NOTICE
On long trips with heavy trailer loads, high ex‐
ternal temperatures and low tank content, the
fuel system can overheat, which reduces the
engine performance. There is a risk of damage
to property. Refuel promptly. On long trips with
heavy trailer loads and high external tempera‐
tures, ensure that the fuel tank is more than
1/4 full.
Trailer stabilization control
Concept
This system supports the driver in stopping the
swinging of a trailer.
The trailer stabilization control detects swinging
and automatically brakes the vehicle quickly to
leave the critical speed range and stabilize the
vehicle-trailer combination.
General information
If the trailer power socket is in use but a trailer
has not been hitched, the system can become
active in certain driving situations, such as when
using a bicycle rack with lighting.
Functional requirement
The system is functional at speeds beginning at
approx. 40 mph/65 km/h while a trailer is being
towed and the trailer power socket is in use.
System limits
The system cannot intervene or not intervene in
time in the following situations, for instance:
If a trailer jackknifes suddenly, for instance on
slippery roads or loose surfaces.
If a trailer with a high center of gravity tilts, be‐
fore swinging is detected.
If DSC Dynamic Stability Control is deacti‐
vated or has malfunctioned.
Activating trailer towing

systems may have functional limitations or may
malfunction. To prevent malfunctions, activate
trailer towing.
