Trailer brakes
Trailer brakes are mandatory on
trailers with an aggregate trailer
mass (ATM) of more than
750 kg.
Consult the appropriate
regulatory body in your State or
Territory for the legal
requirements of trailer brakes.
Running-in when towing
It is recommended that a new
vehicle be driven for at least
1,500 km before towing.
If towing is necessary before this,
do not exceed 80 km/h. This also
applies if the vehicle is fitted with a
new or reconditioned engine,
transmission or rear axle.
Vehicle maintenance
More frequent vehicle maintenance
is required when using the vehicle
to tow. Refer to the Service/
Warranty Booklet in the vehicle's
glove box.
Trailer Sway
Control (TSC)
If the system detects trailer sway
movements, engine power is
reduced and the vehicle/trailer
combination is selectively braked
until the trailer sway ceases. While
the system is working, keep steering
as still as possible.
TSC is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system and
may be disabled by turning the
Traction Control System (TCS) or
ESC off. See Traction Control
System (TCS) on page 9-14 and
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on
page 9-15.
