There may be laws requiring special
outside mirrors when you are towing
a trailer. Check the local laws in the
country. Even if there are no legal
requirements, you should install
special mirrors if you cannot clearly
see behind you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot.
When preparing to tow, and before
driving away, be sure to check the
following:
All weights and loads are within
limits (see pages
and
).
All items on and in the trailer are
properly secured and cannot shift
while you drive.
Be sure to check regulations
concerning the maximum speed or
driving restrictions for vehicles
towing trailers. If you are driving
across several countries, check
each country’s requirements
before leaving home, because
regulations may vary.
Operating speed when towing a
trailer is restricted to 100 km/h
(62 mph).
Ask your trailer sales or rental
agency if any other items are
recommended or required for your
towing situation.
The lights and brakes on your car
and the trailer are working
properly.
The towbar, safety chains, and any
other attachments are secure.
The car has been properly
serviced, and the tyres, brakes,
suspension, and cooling system
are in good operating condition.
Your car’s tyres and spare are
properly inflated, and the trailer
tyres and spare are inflated as
recommended by the trailer
maker.
