Towing a trailer

What you should be mindful of
WARNING
When driving with a trailer, special care is required!
NOTICE
With frequent towing, the vehicle is excessively loa-
ded so this must also be checked between service
intervals.
Permitted trailer loads
The details in the technical vehicle documentation take precedence over the information in this Owner's Man-
ual.
WARNING
Risk of an accident!
Do not exceed the permissible trailer load.
▶
Recommendations for using a trailer
displays the
E
Adjust the tyre pressure on the vehicle for full load.
▶
Do not exceed the maximum permissible total
▶
weight of the vehicle and the combination weight
specified in the technical vehicle documentation
(e.g. in the vehicle registration documentation, in
the COC document) and on the type plate.
For trailer operation, consider the current load con-
▶
dition 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 ac-
▶
cording 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 attempt 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 trailer brake, apply the brakes gently at first,
then brake firmly. This will avoid brake jolts result-
ing from the trailer wheels locking.
Select a lower gear before descending to also use
▶
the braking force of the engine.
Distribution of the load over the vehicle and trailer
combination
Secure heavy objects against slipping, as close to
▶
the trailer axle as possible.
Transport small and light objects in the luggage
▶
compartment.
