Technically permissible maximum trailer
weight and vertical load on the coupling de-
vice
The technically permissible maximum trailer
weight is the weight that the vehicle can tow
››› . The vertical load on the coupling is
exerted vertically from above on the hook of
the towing bracket.
The information on the maximum trailer
weight and vertical load on the coupling de-
vice contained in the type plate of the towing
bracket are experimental values only. The cor-
rect gures for your specic model, which may
be lower than these gures, are given in the
vehicle documentation. The information in the
vehicle documentation takes precedence at all
times.
To promote safety while driving, CUPRA rec-
ommends making the most of the maximum
vertical load technically permissible on the
coupling device ›››page256. An insuicient
vertical load has a negative inuence on the
behaviour of both the vehicle and trailer.
The vertical load increases the weight on the
rear axle, reducing the vehicle's carrying ca-
pacity.
Gross combination weight of the towing ve-
hicle and trailer
The gross combination weight is the actual
weight of the loaded vehicle plus the actual
weight of the loaded trailer.
In some countries trailers are classied into
distinct categories. CUPRA recommends ob-
taining information from a specialised work-
shop regarding which type of trailer is most
suitable for your vehicle.
Trailer loading
The weight of the towing vehicle and trailer
must be balanced. In order to do this, the
load must be as close as possible to the max-
imum vertical load technically permissible on
the coupling point, and it must be evenly dis-
tributed between the back and front of the
trailer:
Distribute loads in the trailer so that heavy
objects are as near to the axle as possible or
above it.
Secure the trailer load properly.
Tyre pressure
Set the tyre pressure of the trailer tyres in ac-
cordance with the trailer manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.
When towing a trailer, inate the tyres of the
towing vehicle with the maximum allowable
pressure ›››page304.
WARNING
If the maximum permissible axle weight, the
maximum load technically permissible on the
coupling point, the maximum authorised ve-
hicle weight or the gross combination weight
of the towing vehicle and trailer are excee-
ded, accidents and serious injuries may oc-
cur.
Never exceed the indicated values.
The actual weight on the front and rear
axles must never exceed the maximum per-
missible axle weight. The weight on the front
and rear axles must never exceed the maxi-
mum permissible weight.
WARNING
A shift in weight could jeopardize the stability
and security of the towing vehicle and trailer,
which could lead to accidents and serious in-
juries.
Always load the trailer correctly.
Always secure the load properly using belts
or straps that are suitable and in good condi-
tion.
Driving with a trailer
Adjusting the headlights
The front part of the vehicle may be raised
when the trailer is connected and the light may
dazzle the rest of the traic.
