Trailer towing<br />

Driving tips<br />

Maintain greater distances than when<br />

travelling without a trailer.<br />

Avoid braking suddenly. Apply the<br />

brakes lightly at first to allow the trailer<br />

to run on and then quickly increase the<br />

braking force.<br />

The vehicle's payload must be reduced<br />

according to the noseweight so that<br />

the permissible rear axle weight is not<br />

exceeded.<br />

The gradient-climbing capability from a<br />

standstill is correct for sea level. When<br />

driving in mountainous areas, note that<br />

the power output of the engine, and<br />

with it its gradient-climbing capability<br />

from a standstill, decreases with increasing<br />

altitude.<br />

If the trailer begins to oscillate:<br />

do not accelerate under any circumstances<br />

do not turn the wheel to correct the line<br />

brake if necessary<br />

Risk of accident G<br />

Do not under any circumstances attempt to<br />

draw out the vehicle/trailer combination by<br />

accelerating.<br />

Nur fuer internen Gebrauch<br />

Risk of accident G<br />

Do not uncouple a trailer with an overrun<br />

brake when the brake is engaged. Your hand<br />

could otherwise become trapped between<br />

the bumper and drawbar.
