In order to accumulate driving experience and
accustom yourself to the new handling charac-
teristics, practice the following atalocation
where there is no traffic:
RCornering
RStopping
RBacking up
Before driving, check the following:
RTrailer tow hitch
RSafety switch for braked trailers
RSafety chains
RElectrical connections
RLighting system
RWheelsa nd tires
RLoad-securing measures
Adjust the exterior mirrors to provide an unob-
structed view of the rear section of the trailer.
Trailers with electronically controlled
brakes: pullawaycarefully in the vehicle/trailer
combination, brake manually using the brake
controller and check whether the brakes func-
tion correctly.
Check the load securing measures on aregular
basis.
When towing atrailer, you rvehicle's handling
characteristics willbed ifferent in comparison
with when driving withoutat railer.
The vehicle/trailer combination:
Ris heavier
Ris restricted in its acceleration and gradient-
climbing capability
Rhas an increased braking distance
Ris affected more by strong crosswinds
Rdemands more sensitive steering
Rhas alargert urning radius
Avoid sudden steering movements.
Avoid braking abruptly. If possible, brake gently
at first to allow the trailer to run on. Then,
increase the braking force rapidly.
When overtaking, pay particular attention to the
extended length of you rvehicle/trailer combi-
nation.
Due to the length of the vehicle/trailer combi-
nation, you require additional road space when
overtaking before you can change back to the
originall ane.
If the automatic transmission repeatedly shifts
betweeng ears on uphill or downhill gradients,
shift to alowerg ear. Driving in
alowerg ear and at areduced speed
decreases the risk of engine damage.
Avoid constant braking. Otherwise,t he vehicle
brakes and possibly also the trailerb rakes may
overheat.
When driving downhill, shift to alowerg ear to
utilize the engine's braking effect.
If the coolant temperature increases dramati-
cally whilet he air-conditioning system is
switched on, switch off the air-conditioning sys- tem.
Coolant heat can also be dissipated by opening
the windowsa
nd sw
itching the ventilation
blower and the interior temperature to the high-
est level.
Decoupling atrailer
GWARNING
If you uncoupl eatrailerwith the overrun
brake engaged,y ou could trap you rhand
betweent he vehicle and the trailerd rawbar.
There is arisk of injury.
Do not uncoupl eatrailerift he overrun brake
is engaged.
!Do not disconnect atraile rwith an engaged
overrun brake. Otherwise,y ourv ehicle could
be damaged by the rebounding of the overrun
brake.
XApply the parking brake.
XMake sure that the automatic transmission is

Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the fol-
lowing:
RCheck the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote control Aand
whetheritiss upported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usuall ybefound on the back of
remote control Afor the garage door drive.
The integrated remote control is compatible
with devicest hat have units which operate in
the frequency range of 280 to 390 MHz.
RReplace the batterie sinremote control A.
This increase sthe probability of remote con-
trol Asending astrong and precise signal to
the integrated remote control on the rear-
view mirror.
RWhen programming, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angle sfrom the
transmitter button that you are programming.
Try various anglesatad istance between2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
RIf another remote control Ais available for
the same garage door drive, repeatt he same
programming steps with this remote control
A.B efore performing these steps, make sure
that new batterie shave been installed in
