Your vehicle has been designed
primarily to carry passengers and
their luggage. You can also use it to
tow a trailer if you carefully observe
the load limits, use the proper
equipment, and follow the guidelines
in this section.
Exceeding any load limit or
improperly loading your
vehicle and trailer can cause
a crash in which you can be
seriously hurt or killed.
Check the loading of your
vehicle and trailer carefully
before starting to drive.
Load Limits
The total weight of the trailer and
towbar (with/without brakes) plus
its luggage must not exceed the
maximum towing weight. See page
331 .
Towing a Trailer
The ''trailer nose load'' should
never exceed 90 kg (198 lbs). This
is the amount of weight the trailer
puts on the towbar when it is fully-
loaded. As a rule of thumb for
trailer weight of less than 500 kg
(1,102 lbs), the trailer nose load
should be 10 percent of the total
trailer package.
