Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) system
The Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) is operated as a vehicle stability control system. The TSA is designed to stabilize the vehicle and trailer when the trailer sways or oscillates. There are various factors that make the vehicle sway or oscillate.
Such incidents mostly happen at high speed, but, there is also a risk of swaying when the trailer is affected by crosswinds, buffeting or improper overloading.
Factors of swaying such as:
-
High speed
-
Strong crosswinds
-
Improper overloading
-
Sudden controlling of steering wheel
-
Uneven road
The TSA continuously analyzes the vehicle and trailer instability. When the Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) detects sway, the brakes are applied automatically on the wheels and the engine power is properly reduced to stabilize the vehicle. When the vehicle becomes stable, the TSA does not operate.
