Turning:
●
When making a turn, keep the vehicle
steady. Avoid bumps or sudden turns
whenever possible. Activate turn
signals before turning.
●
While turning, ensure a larger radius
than usual to prevent the trailer
from colliding with curbs, road signs,
trees, or other obstacles.
●
Parking on a grade:
●
Whenever possible, avoid parking
on a grade. The grade shall be
not greater than 12%. If parking
on a grade is absolutely necessary,
place wheel chocks under the trailer
wheels:
1.
One person presses and holds the
brake pedal;
2. A second person places wheel
chocks under the wheels on the
downgrade side of tyres;
3. When chocks are in place, release
the brake pedal and ensure the
chocks can hold the weight of
the vehicle and trailer (with AVH
disabled).
4. Shift the vehicle to P.
CAUTION
●
Towing a trailer can negatively
impact vehicle performance,
durability, driving economy, and
electric energy consumption.
●
When a trailer is coupled, it
is normal for the trailer's LED
taillights to 󽗊ash very slightly.
WARNING
●
If parking on a grade is necessary,
always ensure that all trailer
wheels have been securely
chocked. Failure to do so can
result in serious damage, injury,
or death.
