ATC Trail Control Anti-Skid System - Single Axle

Permanent safety when driving a car/trailer combination

Anyone who has experienced a critical driving situation with a trailer knows how sensitively trailers or caravans react at higher speeds - and the dangers that threaten! Small evasive manoeuvres, crosswinds on bridges, etc. bring the trailer quickly to a halt. There is a significant danger that the trailer will "rock" and become uncontrollable. AL-KO does not recommend driving a trailer without these "emergency electronics"!
ESP for the car, ATC for the trailer!

Simple function: Similar to the ESP in a car, the AL-KO ATC permanently controls the handling of the trailer or caravan.

In driving situations that cause the trailer to skid, the lateral acceleration sensors of the control electronics detect even the slightest lateral movement. The trailer is braked immediately - without the driver's influence. A few seconds of braking power are sufficient to bring the trailer back to a safe driving condition. The AL-KO ATC stabilisation system can be operated in addition to a trailer ESP in the car, which some car manufacturers provide.

Please note: ATC Trail Control is only available for AL-KO chassis!

Useful information

DID YOU KNOW... AL-KO's Trail Control ATC anti-skid system is an indispensable safety component for many caravans.

Recently, the installation of Trail Control for the trailer driver can also be worthwhile in terms of insurance.
Some insurance companies offer discounts of up to 7% on comprehensive insurance - for one caravan.

According to AL-KO, asking your insurance company cannot hurt, because you could save €100.

• How long does the ATC take to install?
  Approx. 2 hours retrofit
• Does the ATC have to be entered in the retrofit?
  No. It is sufficient to keep the ABE with the registered vehicle documents.
• Where does the ATC gain its power supply?
  The ATC is connected to the distributor box of the trailer and supplied by the continuous plus of the 13-pole plug during driving.
• How much electricity does the ATC need?
  (Standard fuse) 15 amperes.
• Can the ATC be mounted on trailers with a 7-pin plug?
  No. A sufficient power supply cannot be achieved with a 7-pin connector.
• Where does the light diode have to be installed?
  In the vicinity of the control device.
• Does the braking light come on when the ATC is working?
  No. The ATC brakes gently, comparable to a motor brake on the car. The activation of the brake light is not required.
• Does the ATC have to be maintained?
  No. The system is maintenance-free.
• How do I know that the ATC is ready for operation?
  As soon as the 13-pin plug is connected to the towing vehicle, ATC performs a complete self-check (1 brake operation and plausibility check of the electronic system). The functional status is indicated by a green LED on the control device.
  Green = ready
  Red = out of service (but ready to drive)
  Flashing red = trailer braking (not ready to drive)
• In the car, how do I know that the ATC emergency system is working?
  A gentle deceleration is noticeable in the car.
