Towing Tips
• Before setting out on a trip, check
operation of trailer rear lights and stop
lights to ensure you do not jeopardise
other road users' safety.
• Make certain that the load is secured
in the trailer and will not shift during
travel. When trailering cargo that is not
fully secured, dynamic load shifts can
occur that may be difficult for the driver
to control. You could lose control of
your vehicle and have a collision.
• When hauling cargo or towing a trailer,
do not overload your vehicle or trailer.
Overloading can cause a loss of control,
damage to brakes, driveline, steering,
suspension or tires.
• Safety metal wire must always be
used between your vehicle and trailer.
Always connect the wire to the hook
retainers of the trailer and vehicle hitch.
Cross the wire under the trailer tongue
and allow enough slack for turning
corners.
• Comply with local applicable speed
limits.
• Towing any trailer will increase your
stopping distance. When towing, you
should allow for additional space
between your vehicle and the vehicle
in front of you. Failure to do so could
result in an accident.
• For towing use ride height "Normal".
