TOWING A TRAILER

WARNING
The maximum permissible tow
weight is dictated by vehicle

brakes or other equipment are fitted
to the trailer, caravan, or other towed
equipment which may vary according
to the State or Territory in which your
vehicle is operated. Check the laws and
regulations in the location in which you
