Make sure that y ou hav e enough room
when c ornering and avoid sudden
manoeuv res.
If the tra iler/ca ra van starts to sway , drive
more slowly, do not attem pt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if necessary.
If full-on braking is required , depress the
brake pedal as hard as possib le.
Remem ber that the braking distance for
vehic les towing caravans/trailers w ith a nd
without brake is a lways grea ter than that
for vehicles not towing a caravan/trailer.
When driving downhill, towing a cara van/
tra iler subjects the b rakes to a heavier load
than normal. For this reason, select the
sam e gea r as when driving uphill and drive
at a similar speed. With automatic trans-
mission, enga ge p osition 3, 2 or even 1.
Select D ag ain as soon as driving
conditions perm it.
Easytronic 3 in automatic mode or
autom atic transmission 3 in D will
autom atic ally select the d riv ing
prog ra mme with optimum eng ine braking
effect.
The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its
cooling power is therefore independent of
the engine speed.
S ince a c onsiderab le am ount of heat is
generated at high engine speeds and less
at slower speeds, do not shift down when
climb ing hills whilst the vehic le is still coping
with the gradient in the hig her gear.
Diesel engine: On rising gradients of 10 %
or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph
(30 km/h) in 1st gea r or 30 mp h (50 km/h)
in 2nd gear; with automatic transmission,
do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h)
in position 1.
