vehicle documentation (e.g. in the vehicle registration docu-
mentation, in the COC document) and on the type plate.
For trailer operation, consider the current load condition of the
▶
vehicle as well as the distribution of the load in the trailer. The
coupled trailer increases the rear axle load and can therefore
reduce the payload.
Adjust the headlight range of the headlights according to the
▶
load status of the vehicle. The front of the vehicle may lift up
when a trailer is being towed and the headlights may dazzle
other road users.
A speed of 100 km/h should not be exceeded.
▶
Reduce the speed by releasing the accelerator pedal as soon as
▶
a pendulum movement of the trailer is noticeable. Never at-
tempt to stop the trailer from swaying by accelerating.
If the traffic area behind the trailer can not be viewed, install
▶
additional exterior mirrors.
Apply the brakes in good time. If the trailer is fitted with a trail-
▶
er brake, apply the brakes gently at first, then brake firmly. This
will avoid brake jolts resulting from the trailer wheels locking.
Distribution of the load over the vehicle and trailer combina-
tion
Secure heavy objects against slipping, as close to the trailer
▶
axle as possible.
Transport small and light objects in the luggage compartment.
▶
Permitted trailer loads
The details in the technical vehicle documentation take prece-
dence over the information in this Owner's Manual.
