Driving and operation

Coup ling socket loa d 

The c oupling socket load is the load 

exerted by  the trailer/caravan  on the 
coupling ball. It can b e varied by changing 

the w eight distribution when  loa ding  the 
trailer/caravan. 
The ma ximum permissible coup ling socket 
load (55 kg) of the towing vehicle is 

specified on the towing equipment 
identification plate and in the v ehicle 

documents. This must a lw ays be  complied 
with, pa rticularly in the case of heavy 

carava ns/trailers. The  coupling  socket  load 
should b e no less than 25 k g. 
When mea suring the coup ling socket load, 
mak e sure that the  drawbar of the  loa ded 

trailer/caravan is at the sa me  height as it 
will be when the trailer/caravan is coupled 

with the towing vehicle load ed. Particularly 
important for trailers/carav ans w ith 

tandem  axle. 

Rea r axle load during  towing  

With the  tra iler connected and the towing 

vehicle fully loaded  including  all 
oc cup ants, the perm itted rear axle load 

(specified on the  identification  plate a nd 
vehicle documents) must  be  exceed ed b y 

no m ore than 25  kg and  the maximum 
permitted gross vehicle weight b y no more 

than 30 kg. If the ma ximum perm itted rear 
axle  load is exceeded, a m aximum speed 

of 60 mph (100 km/h) app lies, and 50 mph 
(80 km/h) for  commerc ia l vehicles. 

Driving chara cteristics, towing tips 

Before attaching the  trailer/carav an, 

lubricate the ball of the trailer/caravan 
towing device. However, do not lubricate 

the  ball if a stabiliser, w hich a cts on the 
coupling ball,  is b eing used to d amp 

hunting. 
Check c aravan/trailer lighting  before 

starting  to  drive. The fog tail lam ps  on the 
vehicle a re deactivated when towing a  

carav an or trailer. 
Trailers with LED turn signals m ust have a 

provision  enables la mp monitoring  for 
comm ercial bulbs.
Handling is greatly influenced  by the 
loading of the  trailer/c aravan. Loads 

should  therefore b e sec ured so that they 
cannot slip  and be placed in the  centre  of 

the  tra iler/ca ra van if possible, i.e. ab ov e 
the axle. 
In the case of trailers with low  driv ing  
stability, do not exc eed a speed  of 50 mph 

(80  km/h);  the use of a  friction-type 
stabiliser is strongly recommended.
