TOWING A TRAILER
Note:
Mondeo ST vehicles are not
approved for trailer towing.
The maximum vehicle and trailer
payloads represent technically
binding values for gradients up to 12
% and at an altitude of 1 000 metres
above sea level. In high altitude
regions, thinner atmosphere can
reduce engine performance so the
following restrictions will apply:
Above 1 000 metres, the stipulated
maximum permitted gross train
weight must be reduced by 10 % for
every 1 000 metres in altitude.
Steep gradients
WARNING
The overrun brake on a trailer is
not controlled by the anti-lock
braking system.
Change down in plenty of time
before downhill gradients.
For vehicles with an automatic
transmission, if downhill mode
provides insufficient braking then
select manual mode and second or
first gear as necessary.
