Info

Operation Trailer towing Coupling a trailer The maximum noseweight of the trailer towbar on the ball neck is 140 kg (longwheelbase station wagon) or 115 kg (short-wheelbase station wagon/ Cabriolet). It must not exceed the value given on the trailer and the trailer tow hitch type plates. You will find the values: in the vehicle documents on the trailer tow hitch type plate 280 ! If possible, use a noseweight as close as possible to the maximum permissible noseweight. However, you should always use a minimum noseweight of 80 kg, otherwise the trailer may work loose. Risk of accident G Make sure that no-one is present between the vehicle and trailer when the vehicle is being reversed up to the trailer. Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If the trailer is not coupled to the towing vehicle correctly, the trailer may break away. Ensure that the following values are not exceeded: Permissible trailer drawbar noseweight Permissible trailer loads Permissible rear axle load of the towing vehicle Permissible gross vehicle weight Nur fuer internen Gebrauch Place the trailer horizontally behind the vehicle. i On vehicles without level control, the height of the ball neck changes when the vehicle is loaded. In this case, you should use a trailer with a heightadjustable drawbar. P31.10-2581-31 Trailer coupled up ready to drive
Couple the trailer. ! Note that the payload and the rear axle load are reduced by the actual noseweight. Shift the transfer case to LOW before driving on steep uphill or downhill gradients ( page 170). Driving with a trailer The maximum permissible speed for vehicle/trailer combinations is 80 km/h in Germany. ! You should also keep to the maximum speed of 80 km/h even in countries in which higher speeds are permitted for vehicle/trailer combinations. Nur fuer internen Gebrauch Operation Trailer towing Your vehicle will have different handling characteristics when it is towing a trailer, compared to when it is driven without a trailer. The vehicle/trailer combination: is heavier has reduced acceleration and gradient climbing capability has a longer braking distance is more affected by gusts of side winds requires more sensitive steering consumes more fuel i When driving in mountainous terrain, engine output and gradient-climbing capability decrease with increasing altitude. 281
