Safety chains:
Safety chains must be used as a
precautionary measure should the trailer become
unintentionally unhitched. Make sure the safety chain is
securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle prior
to departure.

Your engine delivers less power at higher
altitude. If you tow a trailer in a mountainous area you
should reduce the combined vehicle and trailer weight by
10% for every 1000m of elevation.
Gradients:
Where possible, when towing, you should
plan your journey to avoid steep gradients. The advised
brake towing mass stated assumes a maximum gradient
capability of 12% where possible it is recommended you
drive on gradients less than 12%.
Follow the trailer
