WARNING Risk of accident due to vehi-
cle/trailer combination swerving
If you drive too fast in trailer operation, the
vehicle/trailer combination may start to
swerve.
This could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle/trailer combination. The vehicle/
trailer combination may even rollover.
#
Under no circumstances should you try
to straighten the vehicle/trailer combi-
nation by increasing your speed.
#
Reduce the speed and do not counter-
steer.
#
Brake if necessary.
Retrofitting a trailer hitch is permissible only if a
trailer load is specified in your vehicle documents.
If this is not the case, the vehicle is not approved
for trailer operation.
Further information can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.
For a detachable trailer coupling, it is essential to
comply with the operating instructions of the
trailer coupling manufacturer.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If you
do not connect the trailer to the towing vehicle
correctly, the trailer may become detached.
