WARNING!
Failure to load trailers heavier in front
is the cause of many trailer accidents.
Never exceed the maximum tongue
weight stamped on your trailer hitch.
Tire Pressure Adjustment
Proper tire inflation pressures of your
vehicle and trailer are essential to
the safe and satisfactory operation
of your vehicle while driving and in
manoeuvres.
Check for signs of tire wear or visible
tire damage on trailer and vehicle
before towing a trailer.
For more information on vehicle tires,
: chapter "Tires Information" in
section "Safety".
When a trailer must be towed, inflate
vehicle tires to full load recommended
pressure (FLC), : chapter "Tire
Inflation Pressure" in section
"Technical Specifications".
For pressure of trailer tires, follow
the instructions given by the trailer
manufacturer.
After adjusting vehicle tire pressure
and connecting and disconnecting
the trailer, initialise the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS),
chapter "Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)" in section "Safety".
