IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
12-19
TRAILER BRAKES
If the trailer brakes are used, you should follow all instructions
provided by the manufacturer. Never modify the brake system
of your vehicle.
TRAILER LIGHTS
Make sure your trailer is equipped with lights which meet coun-
try and local requirements.
Always check for the proper operation of all trailer lights be-
fore you start to tow.
Incorrect loading and crosswinds, large trucks passing or road rough-
ness can cause swaying or trailer separation.
• Adjust ball load by distribution of load in trailer.location.
• Check by weighing loaded trailer and ball load separately.
• Check the relevant state or territory registration authorities for the
legal maximum towing weight capacities.
WARNING
TYRES
When towing trailers, be sure your tyres are properly inflated
to the inflation pressure.
SAFETY CHAINS
Always attach safety chains between your vehicle and the
trailer. Cross the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer
so that the tongue will not drop to the road if it becomes sepa-
rated from the hitch. Follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dation for attaching safety chains. Always leave just enough
slack to permit full turning. Never allow safety chains to drag
on the road.
BRAKE FLUID
Change the brake fluid every 15,000 km (9,000 miles) under
the following conditions.
- Towing a trailer frequently.
- Driving in hilly or mountainous terrain.
