8. USER GUIDELINES
When towing the caravan:
–
It is important not to drive the vehicle at full speed at all times and maintain
an increased distance from other vehicles to be able to increase speed in
the event of slippage,
–
Exercise particular caution at turnings, especially if the road is wet,
–
The braking distance of the vehicle-caravan set is greater than that of the
vehicle alone,
–
When the caravan is parked on a slope, place wheel chocks under the
wheels, and if the caravan is equipped with a brake system, apply the
brakes using the hand lever.
–
The maximum permissible weight of the caravan must not exceed that
stated in the towing vehicle documents, even if the law provides for higher
values.
