Xenon headlamps
Headlamp levelling is adjusted automatically if
Xenon headlamps are fitted, to account for
vehicle load conditions, to avoid dazzling
oncoming drivers.
CORNERING OR STATIC BENDING
LAMPS
Cornering or static bending lamps are angled
outwards from the centre line of the vehicle.
These lamps broaden the beam of the
headlamps when cornering during normal
night driving.

Brakes

During emergency braking conditions ABS
constantly monitors the speed of each wheel.
ABS varies the brake pressure to individual
wheels, according to the grip available. The
constant alteration of brake pressure can be
felt as a pulsing sensation through the brake
pedal. This is not a caus e for concern, as it is
designed to demonstrate to the driver that ABS
is operating.
ABS braking techniques
For optimum ABS performance, these
instructions on braking techniques during ABS
operation should be followed:
• Do not release the brake pressure when
the pulsating effect is felt. Maintain a
constant pressure until the manoeuvre is
completed.
• To familiarise y ourself with the feel of the
brake pedal during ABS braking, practise
an emergency stop pr ocedure, always
making sure it is safe to do so. With the
seat belts fitted to all occupants, drive the
vehicle at 32 km/h (20 mph) and brake
sharply.
• ABS enables the driver to steer around
obstacles during em ergency braking.
However, the consequences of turning
sharply at high speed cannot be overcome
by the ABS.
• Do not attempt to pump the brakes to
avoid skidding, as this can interfere with
ABS operation. The ABS will not allow the
wheels to skid under normal road
conditions.
• The ABS will tend to keep the vehicle
straight during braki ng. Because braking
distances may increase under certain road
conditions, it is nece ssary to plan and
make turning manoeuvres as early as
possible.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
EBD balances the distribution of braking forces
between the wheels on the front and rear axles,
to maintain maximum braking under all vehicle
loading conditions.
For example; Under light loads, EBD applies
less braking effort to the rear wheels, to
maintain stability. Conv ersely, it allows full
braking effort to the rear wheels when the
vehicle is towing or is heavily laden.
A fault with the EBD system is
indicated by illumination of the red
brake warning indicator and the
message EBD FAULT is displayed in the
message centre. Gently stop the vehicle, as
soon as safety permit s, and seek qualified
assistance.

Towing

RECOMMENDED TOWING WEIGHTS
Nose/tongue weight must be the greater of
50 kg (110 lbs) or 7% of the actual trailer
weight, up to the maximum tow hitch load.
Nose/tongue weight can be measured using a
proprietary brand of nose weight indicator.
If it is necessary to increase the nose/tongue
weight up to the maximu m allowed, the vehicle
load should be reduced accordingly. This
ensures that the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW),
and maximum rear axle load, are not exceeded.
Note: When towing the maximum permissible
gross vehicle weight can be increased by a
maximum of 100 kg (220 lb.) provided that the
road speed is limited to 100 km/h (60 mph).
Note: When calculating rear axle loading,
remember that the trailer nose/tongue weight,
the load in the vehicle's luggage area and the
weight of rear seat pa ssengers must all be
added together.
Towing weights - Australia only
The weight of a traile r must not exceed 1.5
times the towing vehicle’s weight. The
nose/tongue weight must be a minimum of 7%
of gross caravan/trai ler weight, up to a
maximum of 350 kg (722 lbs).
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
• The trailer should be parallel to the ground
when loaded and connected to the vehicle.
• When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
• If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's
weight limits. See WEIGHTS (page 259).
• Ensure that all applic able regulations and
legislation are complied with when loading
and towing a trailer.
• Increase rear tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle to those for maximum vehicle
loading conditions.
• Ensure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacturer' s recommendations.
• If the vehicle is loaded to maximum Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) the nose weight is
limited (see Towi ng weights table).
• Ensure that a suitable breakaway cable or
secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer' s instructions for
guidance.
• Ensure that the tow ball is secure.
• Check the operation of all trailer lights.
Maximum permissible
towing weights
Unbraked trailers 750 kg (1653 lb.) Trailers with
overrun brakes 1850 kg (4080 lb.)
Nose/Tongue weight 75 kg (165 lb.)
WARNING
Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW), m aximum rear axle
weight, maximum trailer weight, or
nose/tongue weight. Exceeding any of these
limits could cause inst ability and loss of
control. See WEIGHTS (page 259).
WARNING
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball as it may slide off.
