Towing a trailer requires experience.
The combination of the vehicle and
trailer is longer and not as responsive
as the vehicle itself. Get used to the
handling and braking of the
combination by driving on a level road
surface before driving on public roads.
The trailer structure, the tyres, and
the brakes must all be rated to carry
the intended load. Inadequate trailer
equipment can cause the combination
to operate in an unexpected or unsafe
manner. Before driving, inspect all
trailer hitch parts and attachments,
safety chains, electrical connectors,
lamps, tyres, and mirrors. See Towing
Equipment 0 280. If the trailer has
electric brakes, start the combination
moving and then manually apply the
