TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST (TSA)

When a trailer is attached, TSA will automatically detect when trailer sway is developing. It will then gradually reduce the vehicle's speed, by cutting engine power and applying the brakes to help regain control.

TSA will not operate in the event of the trailer jack-knifing.

The ability of TSA may be reduced when travelling on slippery surfaces.

Note: TSA will not operate when Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is switched off.
