5) SPEED AND INITIAL
LOAD RESTRICTIONS -
ITEMS i) & ii)
i) New vehicle towing mass
restrictions (when towing with
a new vehicle)
To help prevent damage to your new
vehicle, it is recommended to limit the
towed mass for the first 3000kms of
travel as per the diagram below.
Note: The load which your vehicle can
tow is dependent on many factors.
Refer Guidline 1) “Vehicle and Trailer
Load Limits” in this section for further
information. Also refer to the severe/
unusual conditions requirements
contained in the service schedule,
outlined in the Customer Assistance,
Warranty and Service Guide.
Note:
If loads in excess of 1200kg are
towed for an extended period and/or
continuous high speed operation occurs
during the vehicle run-in period, change
the rear axle oil at the 15,000km service.
ii) Maximum vehicle speed
when towing
If your vehicle has never been used for
towing before, and you are towing heavy
trailers or trailers with high aerodynamic
drag (e.g. horse floats or full sized
caravans) then your vehicle speed
should not exceed 85km/h for the first
500km of towing.
WARNINGS
After the prior restrictions have
been completed, the vehicle
towing speed should not exceed the
prescribed legal speed limits or the limits
shown in the graph below (whichever is
the lesser). The progressive reduction
in this limit applies to all sedan vehicles,
according to the Laden Trailer Mass,
that must not exceed the listed model
transmission limits.
