Driving
On hooking it up to the safety lug, the retainer
cabl e shoul
d
have slack in all the trailer po-
sitions with respect to the vehicle (sharp
bends, reverse gear, etc.).
Headlights
The front part of the vehicle may be raised
when the trailer is connected and the light
may dazzle the rest of the traffic.
Adapt the height of the headlights using the
headlight range adjuster

it is advisable not to drive at the maximum
permissibl e speed in an unf
av
ourable road,
weather or wind conditions. This applies es-
pecially when driving downhill.
You should always reduce speed immediately
if the trailer shows the slightest sign of snak-
ing. Never try to stop the “snaking” by in-
creasing speed.
Always brake in due course. If the trailer has
an overrun brake, apply the brakes gently at
first and then, firmly. This will prevent the jerk-
ing that can be caused by locking of trailer
wheels. Select a low gear in due course be-
fore going down a steep downhill. This ena-
bles you to use the engine braking to slow
down the vehicle.
Reheating
At very high temperatures and during pro-
longed slopes, driving in a low gear and high
engine speed, always monitor the coolant
temperature gauge
