Safety information
WARNING
Speeds in excess of approximately 80 km/h,
50 mph, can be enough to cause trailer snak-
ing, depending on the type of trailer and the
load being carried. There is a risk of accident
or material damage.
Keep to an appropriate speed when towing a
trailer. If the trailer starts to snake, brake im-
mediately and make the necessary steering
corrections as carefully as possible.
WARNING
The tyre inflation pressure must be adapted
because of the increased axle load in trailer
operation. Driving with inadequate tyre infla-
tion pressure can damage the tyres. There
is a risk of accident or material damage. Do
not exceed a speed of 100 km/h, 60 mph. In-
crease the tyre inflation pressure of the tow-
ing vehicle by 0.2 bar. Note the maximum
possible tyre inflation pressure stated on the
tyre.
