Driving with a trailer
When driving with a trailer, there are a number of
points that are important to think about regar-
ding the towing bracket, the trailer and how the
load is positioned in the trailer.
Payload depends on the car's kerb weight. The
total of the weight of the passengers and all
accessories, e.g. towbar, reduces the car's pay-
load by a corresponding weight.
The car is supplied with the necessary equipment
for towing a trailer.
•
The car's towing bracket must be of an
approved type.
•
Distribute the load on the trailer so that the
weight on the towing bracket complies with
the specified maximum towball load. Towball
load is calculated as part of the car's payload.
•
Increase the tyre pressure to the recom-
mended pressure for a full load. For more
information on tyre pressure, see the section
"Approved tyre pressures".
•
The engine is loaded more heavily than usual
when driving with a trailer.
•
Do not tow a heavy trailer when the car is
brand new. Wait until it has been driven at
least 1000 km (620 miles).
•
The brakes are loaded much more than usual
on long and steep downhill slopes. Downshift
