using the brake controller and check
whether the brakes function correctly.
RSecure any objects on the trailer to prevent
the cargo from slipping when the vehicle is
in motion.
RWhen you couple up a trailer, check at reg-
ular intervals that the load isfirmly secured.
If the trailer isequipped with trailer lights
and brakes, check the trailer to ensure that
these are working.
RBear inmind that the handlin g will be less
stable when towing a trailer than when driv-
ing without one. Avoid sudden steering
movements.
RThe vehicle/trailer combination isheavier,
accelerates more slowly, has a decreased
gradient cli mbing capability and a longer
braking distance.
It is more susceptible to side winds and
requires more careful steering.
RIf possible, do not brake suddenly, but
instead depress the brake pedal moder-
ate lyat first so that the trailer can activate
it s brakes. Then increase the pressure on
the brake pedal.
RIf the automat ictransmission repeatedly
shifts between gears on uphill or downhill
gradients, shift to a lower gear using the
left-hand steering wheel paddleshifter.
A lower gear and lower speed reduce the
risk of engine failure.
RWhen drivingdown hill, shift to a lower gear
to uti lize the engine's braking effect.
Avoid co ntin
uous brake application as this
may overheat the vehicle brakes and, if
instal led,the trailer brakes.
RIfthe coolant temperature increases dra-
matical ly while the air-cond itioning system
is swit ched on, switch off the air-condition-
ing system.
Coolant heat can also bedissipated by
opening the windows and switching the ventilation
blower and the interior temper-
ature to the highest leve l.
RWhen overtaking, pay particular attention
to the extended length of your vehicle/
trailer combination.
Due to the length of the vehicle/trailer
combination, you require additional road
spaceinrelation to the vehicle you are
overtaking before you can change back to
the original lane.
