TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h).
Failure to take care may result in loss
of vehicle control, serious personal
injury or death.
Do not exceed the maximum gross
train weight stated on your vehicle
identification plate. See Vehicle
Identification Plate (page 140). Failure
to adhere to this warning could result in
loss of vehicle control, serious personal
injury or death.
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible nose weight, e.g. vertical
weight on the tow ball. See
Recommended Towing Weights (page
100). Failure to adhere to this warning could
result in loss of vehicle control, serious
personal injury or death.
Place loads as low as possible and central
to the axle(s) of your trailer. If you are
towing with an unladen vehicle, the load
in your trailer should be placed toward the
nose, within the maximum nose load, as
this gives the best stability.
The stability of your vehicle to trailer
combination is very much dependant on
the quality of the trailer.
In high altitude regions above 3281 feet
(1000 meters), the stipulated maximum
permitted gross train weight must be
reduced by 10% for every additional 3281
feet (1000 meters).
Note: The electrical system is not suitable
for towing trailers with more than one rear
fog lamp.
Note: Not all vehicles are suitable or
approved to have tow bars fitted. See an
authorized dealer for further information.
Steep Gradients
WARNING
The anti-lock braking system does
not control the overrun brake on the
trailer. Failure to take care may result
in loss of vehicle control, serious personal
injury or death.
Use a low gear when descending a steep
downhill gradient.
