Advice on driving when towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towing load must
be reduced by 10
% of the gt
W a
nd so on for
every 1
000 metres of altitude.
For more information on Petrol weights or
Diesel weights and in particular the towed
loads which apply to your vehicle, refer to the
corresponding section.
Side wind
F take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
t
o l
ower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
th

e maximum towed load on a long slope
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so .
Braking
towing a trailer increases the braking distance.to l
imit heat build-up in the brakes, use of the
engine brake is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the lighting and signalling on the trailer and the adjustment of the vehicle's
headlamps.
For more information on Headlamp
