Driver assistance system limitations during trailer towing

When towing a trailer or using a carrier, the control stability of driver assistance systems may be reduced. In such cases, turn off the driver assistance systems and always drive attentively and safely. Refer to each system’s description for more information.
If the vehicle is equipped with proprietary components or functions that can detect trailer attachment, certain driver assistance system functions may be restricted when a trailer is recognized as connected. Check the specifications applied to your vehicle and use them accordingly.

Type A (If not equipped with trailer menu)

When a connector is attached to the trailer, a warning message appears on the cluster and some driver assistance system functions are limited. These limitations are lifted once the connector is removed.

When a trailer connector is attached or trailer mode/carrier mode is activated via the infotainment trailer menu, a warning message appears on the cluster and a trailer icon is displayed on the infotainment screen.
Function limitations may vary depending on the selected mode. These limitations are lifted once the connector is removed or the trailer menu is turned off.

The following driver assistance systems may be limited. Please be aware of them while driving. For more details about each function, refer to Driver assistance guide.

The trailer menu settings are retained even after the vehicle is restarted. Always check that the connector is properly connected and the settings are correct before driving carefully.
