For example, if the trailer and its
load weigh 225 kg (500 lbs), the
trailer nose load should be 22.5 kg
(50 lbs). Adjust trailer's luggage to
change the trailer nose load. Start by
putting approximately 60 percent of
the luggage toward the front and
40 percent toward the rear. With a
trailer package of more than 750 kg
(1,653 lbs)/600 kg (1,323 lbs) on
Australian model, you may need to
adjust the luggage weight toward the
rear. Never load the trailer so the
back is heavier than the front. This
takes weight off your car's rear axle
and reduces traction.
The maximum permissible weight
must not exceed the specified limit
as shown on page 547 .
The maximum permissible weight
is total weight of the car, driver,
passengers, luggage and towbar.
The maximum loaded vehicle
weight must not exceed the
specified limit as shown on page
547 .
Please consider that the instal-
lation of optionals (and trailer nose
load when towing a trailer) will
reduce the loading capacity.
Towing a Trailer
Towing a load that is too heavy can
seriously affect your car's handling
and performance. It can also damage
the engine and drivetrain.
Exceeding load limits or
improperly loading your car
and trailer can cause a crash
in which you can be seriously
injured or killed.
Check the loading of your car
and trailer carefully before
starting to drive.
