Your vehicle has been designed
primarily to carry passengers and
their luggage. You can also use it to
tow a trailer if you carefully observe
the load limits, use the proper
equipment, and follow the guidelines
in this section.
The total weight of the trailer and
towbar (with/without brakes) plus
its luggage must not exceed the
maximum towing weight. See page
.
The ‘‘trailer nose load’’ should
never exceed 90 kg (198 lbs). This
is the amount of weight the trailer
puts on the towbar when it is fully-
loaded. As a rule of thumb for
trailer weight of less than 500 kg
(1,102 lbs), the trailer nose load
should be 10 percent of the total
trailer package.

before starting to drive.
