Notes on towing a trailer
G
Risk of accident
When reversing the vehicle towards the
trailer, make sure there is nobody between
the trailer and the vehicle.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If
you do not couple the trailer to the towing
vehicle correctly, the trailer could become
detached.
Make sure that the following values are not
exceeded:
I
The permitted trailer drawbar nose-
weight
I
The permitted trailer load
I
The permitted rear axle load of the tow-
ing vehicle
I
The maximum permissible gross vehicle
weight of both the towing vehicle and
the trailer
You will find the applicable permissible val-
ues which must not be exceeded in the ve-
hicle documents.
You will find the values approved by the
manufacturer on the vehicle identification
plates and those for the towing vehicle in
the
“
Technical data
”
section.
You will find installation dimensions and
loads in the "Technical data" section
(
e
page 326).
The maximum permissible trailer drawbar
noseweight on the ball coupling is 75 kg.
However, the weight must not exceed the
figure given on the trailer tow hitch and
trailer identification plates. The lowest
weight applies.
!
Use a noseweight as close as possible to
the maximum permissible noseweight. Do not
use a noseweight of less than 50 kg, otherwise
the trailer may come loose.
Bear in mind that the payload and the rear axle
load are reduced by the actual noseweight.
i
The height of the ball coupling changes
with the load of the vehicle. If necessary, you
should use a trailer with a height-adjustable
drawbar.
E
Position the trailer level behind the ve-
hicle.
E
Make sure that the ball of the ball cou-
pling is clean and that, depending on
the trailer specification, it is greased or
dry (without grease) when used.
E
Couple up the trailer.
G
Risk of accident
Do not uncouple a trailer with an overrun
brake when the brake is engaged. You could
otherwise trap your hand between the
bumper and drawbar.
Driving tips
In Germany, the maximum permitted
speed for vehicle/trailer combinations is
80 km/h.
!
A maximum speed of 80 km/h should not
be exceeded, even in countries where higher
speeds are permitted for vehicle/trailer combi-
nations.
When towing a trailer, your vehicle's han-
dling characteristics will be different from
those it presents when driven without a
trailer.
