Things You Need To Know Before Towing a Trailer
1Driving Safely with a Trailer
Operating speed when towing a trailer must not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph).
Parking
In addition to the normal precautions, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer’s tyres.
When towing a trailer, we recommend that you carry
a full-size spare wheel and tyre for both your vehicle
and trailer.
Remember to unhitch the trailer before changing a
flat tyre. Ask the trailer sales or rental agency where
and how to store the trailer’s spare tyre.
We recommend you drive uphill of less than 12%
slope. Follow the trailer association’s
recommendations for suitable roads.
Winds caused by passing large vehicles can sway your
trailer, keep a constant speed and steer straight
ahead.
Always drive slowly and have someone guide you
when reversing.
