Driving tips
앫
Maintain a greater distance from the
vehicle in front than when driving with-
out a trailer.
앫
Avoid braking abruptly. If possible,
brake gently at first to allow the trailer
to run on. Then increase the braking
force rapidly.
앫
The vehicle’s payload must be reduced
to compensate for the noseweight so
that the maximum permissible rear
axle load is not exceeded.
앫
The gradient-climbing capabilities from
a standstill are correct for sea level.
i
When driving in mountainous areas, note
that the power output of the engine, and with it
its gradient climbing capability, decrease with in-
creasing altitude.
If the trailer swings from side to side:
왘
Do not accelerate.
왘
Do not countersteer.
왘
Brake if necessary.
!
Do not uncouple a trailer with an overrun
brake between the bumper and drawbar, other-
wise your vehicle could be damaged by the
spring action of the overrun brake.
