Carefully depress the accelerator pedal and
make sure that the wheels do not spin when
driving on steep terrain.
i
If the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS recog-
nises this and brakes the wheels accordingly.
The rear wheel torque is increased and it is
easier to pull away.

Maximum drawbar load
!
Use a drawbar noseweight as close as pos-
sible to the maximum permissible nose-
weight. Do not use a noseweight of less than
50kg, otherwise the trailer may come loose.
Note that the payload and the rear axle load
are reduced by the actual payload.
The drawbar load reduces the permissible over-
all load and rear axle load.
The drawbar load acts from above onto the ball
head on the trailer tow hitch.
The drawbar load is not included in the trailer
load.

You can secure carrier systems, e.g. bicycle
racks or load-bearing devices, to the ball cou-
pling. The maximum payload of 75 kg applies
when carrier systems are attached to the ball
coupling.
