IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
12-17
Your vehicle is designed primarily as a passenger vehicle
therefore handling, braking, durability and economy will be
affected by towing a trailer.
Your safety and satisfaction depend upon proper use of cor-
rect equipment. Also, you should avoid overloading and other
abusive use.
The maximum loaded trailer weight you can pull with your ve-
hicle depends on your intended use and what special equip-
ment has been installed on it. Before attempting any towing,
ensure that the correct equipment is fitted to your vehicle.
Your Ssangyong Dealer will help supply and install towing
equipment to suit your requirement.
TRAILER LOADING
To load your trailer properly, you must know how to measure
gross trailer weight and trailer ball weight. Gross trailer weight
is the weight of the trailer plus all cargo in it.
You can measure gross trailer weight by putting the fully
loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
Trailer ball weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch
by the trailer coupler at its normal towing height. This weight
can be measured using a bathroom scale.
The weight of your loaded trailer (gross trailer weight) should
never exceed the specified values.
The maximum permissible trailer ball weight is 140kg.
The permissible trailer loads are valid for several gradients
from 6.8% to 12.6% according to engine power applied.
When the trailer has been coupled, the permissible rear axle
load for the fully loaded towing vehicle (including occupants)
must not be exceeded.
