Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the h
eaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches
t
he maximum permitted without
e
xceeding it.
Air
density decreases with altitude, thus
r
educing engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and
t
he STOP
warning lamp come
o
n, stop the vehicle and switch
o
ff the engine as soon as
p
ossible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
