than the gross vehicle weight rating or the
front and rear gross axle weight rating. If
you do, parts on your car can break, or
it can change the way your car handles.
This could cause you to lose control. Also
overloading can shorten the life of your
car. Do not exceed the maximum load
for the car and trailer combination. The
maximum towable load is only permitted
if it does not exceed the maximum load of
the combination.

the vehicle performance may be limited
in order to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37 ° C,
reduce the towed weight. Towing even
with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely
affect its road holding. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer. When
using a vehicle to tow, never exceed a
speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) (observe the
local legislation in force).
