TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 100 km/h. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
Do not exceed the maximum gross
combination mass stated on the
vehicle identification plate. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
personal injury.
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible nose weight, e.g. vertical
weight on the tow ball. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in loss
of vehicle control, serious personal injury
or death.
Do not exceed the maximum front
and rear axle loads for your vehicle.
The anti-lock brake system does not
control the trailer brakes.
Note:
Vehicles equipped with electronic
stability program (ESP) have trailer stability
control included.
When towing a trailer:
•
Obey country specific regulations for
towing a trailer.
•
Do not exceed 100 km/h even if a
country allows higher speeds under
certain conditions.
•
Place loads as low as possible and
central to the axle of your trailer. For
best stability of the trailer in an unladen
vehicle, place the load in the trailer
towards the nose within the maximum
nose load as this gives the best
stability. See
Recommended Towing
Weights
(page ?).
•
Reduce the stipulated maximum
permitted gross combination mass by
10% for every additional 1,000 m in
high altitude regions above 1,000 m.
•
Use a low gear when descending a
steep downhill gradient.
The stability of your vehicle to trailer
combination is very much dependent on
the quality of the trailer.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL
Note:
The system automatically turns on
every time you switch the ignition on.
Note:
Switching off the stability control will
turn off the system.
Note:
This feature does not prevent trailer
sway, but reduces it once it begins.
Note:
This feature cannot stop all trailers
from swaying.
Trailer sway control is an enhanced feature
of stability control system and
automatically detects when an attached
trailer starts to sway. This feature applies
your vehicle brakes at individual wheels
and if necessary, reduces engine power. If
the trailer begins to sway, slow your vehicle
down, pull safely to the side of the road
and check for correct load distribution.

Note:
Shifting to 4x4 Low will deactivate
trailer sway control.
Note:
Switching on the electronic locking
differential will turn off the system.
Note:
To switch off the trailer sway control
