Small evasive maneuvers, crosswinds on bridges or wind pressure when passing trucks can quickly cause the trailer to jerk. There is a high risk that the trailer will "swing up" and become uncontrollable.
Once you experience this danger, you will never drive a combination without “emergency electronics” again. In the car you can keep the ESP and in the trailer you can rely on the ATC.
And this is how ATC works:
As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve, the ATC sensors measure even the slightest lateral acceleration directly from the trailer axle.
ATC brakes the trailer immediately and automatically.
The driver feels almost nothing about the electronically controlled braking.
After a few seconds, the vehicle will be moving safely again.
By braking, the trailer automatically adjusts to the road.
Useful information
DID YOU KNOW... that AL-KO's ATC Trail Control anti-sway system is an essential safety component for many caravans.
Recently, installing a Trail Control system has also become profitable for the vehicle driver and his insurance.
Some insurance companies offer up to 7% discount on fully comprehensive insurance - for one caravan.
According to ALKO, inquiring about a possible discount to the relevant (own) insurance company cannot be useless under any circumstances, as you can save up to €100.00 per year .
