TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph).
The rear tyre pressures must be
increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi) above
specification. See
Technical
specifications
(page 211).
Do not exceed the maximum gross
train weight stated on the vehicle
identification plate. See
Vehicle
identification
(page 216).
CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible nose weight, i.e. vertical
weight on the tow ball, of 75
kilogrammes (165 pounds).
Note:
Not all vehicles are suitable or
approved to have tow bars fitted. Check
with your dealer first.
Place loads as low and central to the
axle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you are
towing with an unladen vehicle, the load
in the trailer should be placed toward the
nose, within the maximum nose load, as
this gives the best stability.
The stability of the vehicle to trailer
combination is very much dependant on
the quality of the trailer.
In high altitude regions above 1 000
metres (3 281 feet), the stipulated
maximum permitted gross train weight
must be reduced by 10% for every
additional 1 000 metres (3 281 feet).
Steep gradients
WARNING
The overrun brake on a trailer is not
controlled by ABS.
Change down a gear before you reach a
steep downhill gradient.
RETRACTABLE TOW BALL
CAUTION
Only move the tow ball arm with your
hand. Never use your foot or auxiliary
tools as damage to the mechanism
may result.
