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
