Trailer Stability Assist
Helps to stabilize the vehicle and trailer when trailer towing sway becomes severe.
■
How trailer stability assist works
When the vehicle and trailer become unstable while driving, trailer stability assist
determines its cause. If the trailer oscillation is detected as its cause, and its swaying
is increasing, the system applies brakes or controls engine output to reduce the
vehicle speed.
The brake lights of your vehicle and trailer come on automatically if it is braking that
reduces the vehicle speed.

1Trailer Stability Assist
Trailer stability assist is not a function that prevents
the vehicle and trailer from swaying. Avoid high
speeds, abrupt steering, improper trailer load, and
sudden braking to keep the trailer from swaying.
When swayed too severely, the system becomes
ineffective, and you may loose control of your
vehicle, causing the trailer to roll over or get
damaged.
