* Towing capacity: total trailer weight
(including all cargo and optional
equipment)
The max towing weight of 2WD model is
750kg. The width and height of goods,
recreational vehicle, or devices should
be close to the width and height of the
trailer. If the former is over the latter,
problems including insu󽗋cient power
and quick power losing may be caused by
increased wind drag.
A holder of C6 driving licence is allowed
to drive a trailer if the total mass
(including both the vehicle and trailer) is
less than 4,500 kg.
Tyre pressure during towing
●
For towing a trailer, adjust the tyre
pressure to accommodate additional
loads. Keep tyres in󽗊ated to 270 kPa.
●
For towing, the technically permissible
maximum mass on the rear axle may
be exceeded by no more than 15%
and the technically permissible laden
mass of the vehicle may be exceeded
by no more than 100 kg. In these
instances, the vehicle speed cannot
exceed 100 km/h and the rear tyre
pressure must be at least 20 kPa above
the tyre pressure recommended for
normal use.
WARNING
●
The trailer tongue weight shall
be at least 4% of the total trailer
weight, without exceeding the
maximum tongue weight stated
in the table above. Unbalanced
loads towards wheels or heavier
loads at the rear may cause the
trailer to sway, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
●
Make sure no one rides in the
trailer during towing.
WARNING
●
The maximum uphill gradient
allowed is 12% when a trailer is
towed.
●
Always ensure that cargo is
secured in the trailer and cannot
move. Dynamic load movement
may cause loss of vehicle control,
resulting in serious injury or
death.
●
To avoid potential accidents and
serious personal injury, never
exceed the towing capacity or
maximum tongue weight.
●
To avoid tyre faults or loss of
vehicle stability, never attempt to
tow a trailer in case of a:
●
faulty tyre ; or
●
temporarily repaired tyre (such
tyres cannot sustain towing
loads).
●
Please observe applicable local
laws and regulations regarding
towing. Do not modify the vehicle
without permission.
●
Do not tow a trailer equipped with
an electromagnetic brake.
CAUTION
●
Do not tow a trailer in the running-
in period.
●
Before towing, be sure to:
●
in󽗊ate tyres to the speci󽗉ed cold
tyre in󽗊ation pressure;
Precautions for vehicle towing
