Driving characteristics, towing tips
In the case of caravans/trailers with brakes,
attach breakaway stopping cable to eye.
Before attaching the caravan/trailer,
lubricate the ball of the caravan/trailer
towing device. However, do not lubricate
the ball if a stabiliser, which acts on the
coupling ball, is being used to damp
snaking.
Check caravan/trailer lighting before
starting to drive. The fog tail light is
deactivated when towing a
caravan/trailer.

Trailers with LED turn signals must have a
provision that enables light monitoring, as
with commercial bulbs.
Turn signal control indicator – see page 89.
Parking distance sensors 3 are
deactivated when towing.
Handling is greatly influenced by the
loading of the caravan/trailer. Loads
should therefore be secured so that they
cannot slip and be placed in the centre of
the caravan/trailer if possible, i.e. above
the axle.
For trailers with low directional control and
for caravans with a permissible Gross
Vehicle Weight of more than 1000 kg, a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) must not be
exceeded; the use of a roll damper in
accordance with the friction principle is
highly recommended.
Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h)
if possible, even in countries where higher
speeds are permitted.
Make sure that you have enough room
when cornering and avoid sudden
manoeuvres.
If the caravan/trailer starts to sway, drive
more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if necessary.
If it is necessary to apply the brakes fully,
depress the footbrake as hard as possible.
Remember that the braking distance for
vehicles towing caravans/trailers with and
without brake is always greater than that
for vehicles not towing a caravan/trailer.
