Operating hints
Have your vehicle serviced prior to
towing a heavy trailer, taking particular
care of the state of engine tune, the
condition of brakes, steering and tyres.
Adjust tyre pressures to those
specifications at trailer towing (refer to
“tyre inflation pressure”). Check the
tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the
trailer.
Leave plenty of room between the
front of your vehicle and the preceding
vehicle. If the trailer begins to sway or
becomes difficult to handle, gently slow
down or apply the independent trailer
brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes.
Stop the vehicle and trailer in a safe
location. One cause of swaying is poor
trailer balance and until this has been
overcome the swaying will recur.
Relocated the load in your trailer and
re-assess the problem.
Be sure that the driving speed does
not exceed 100 km/h for trailer
operation.
