Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h).This could result in the loss of vehiclecontrol, serious personal injury ordeath.
The rear tire pressures must beincreased by 3 psi (0.2 bar) abovespecification. Do not exceed themaximum pressure stated on the tiresidewall. This could cause serious personalinjury. See Wheels and Tires (page 174).
Do not exceed the maximum grosstrain weight stated on your vehicleidentification plate. This could resultin the loss of vehicle control, seriouspersonal injury or death. See VehicleIdentification Plate (page 186).
Do not exceed the maximumpermissible trailer nose weight(vertical weight on the tow ball) asstated in the vehicle specification chart.This could result in the loss of vehiclecontrol, serious personal injury or death.See Capacities and Specifications(page 186).
The anti-lock braking system doesnot control the overrun brake on thetrailer. This could result in the loss ofvehicle control, serious personal injury ordeath.
When towing a trailer:
•Obey country specific regulations fortowing a trailer.
•Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h)even if a country allows higher speedsunder certain conditions.
•Place loads as low as possible andcentral to the axle of your trailer. If youare towing with an unladen vehicle, theload in your trailer should be placedtoward the nose, within the maximumnose load, as this gives the beststability. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 186).
•The trailer nose weight (vertical weighton the tow ball), is essential for thedriving stability of your vehicle andtrailer.
•The vertical weight on the tow ballshould be at least 4% of the trailerweight and not exceed the maximumpermissable weight. See Capacitiesand Specifications (page 186).
•Reduce speed immediately if the trailershows any sign of swaying.
•Use a low gear when descending asteep downhill gradient.
Note:The maximum permissible trailernose weight on the trailer identificationplate is the trailer manufacturer’s testingvalue. The vehicle maximum permissibletrailer nose weight may be lower.
The stability of your vehicle to trailercombination is very much dependent onthe quality of the trailer.
Towing a trailer changes the vehiclehandling characteristics and increasesstopping distances. Adapt your speed anddriving behavior to the load of the trailer.
The gross train weight stated on thevehicle identification plate applies for roadgradients up to 12% and altitudes up to3281 feet (1000 meters) when towing atrailer. In mountainous regions the engineperformance decreases due to lower airdensity with increasing altitude. In highaltitude regions above 3281feet (1000metres), the stipulated maximumpermitted gross train weight must bereduced by 10% for every extra 3281 feet(1000 metres).
