TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted
with a certified tow hook and an adequate electric
system. Installation should be carried out by
specialised personnel who release a special document
for circulation on the road.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors
as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are
harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and
overtaking takes longer depending on the overall
weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than
constantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car tow hook
reduces by the same amount the actual vehicle loading
capacity. To make sure the maximum towable weight
is not exceeded (given in the log book) account should
be taken of the fully laden trailer, including accessories
and personal belongings.
Do not exceed the speed limits of the country you are
driving in. In any case do not exceed 100 km/h.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the vehicle brake system be altered to control the
trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be fully independent of the vehicle’s
hydraulic system.
WARNING
The ABS system with which the car may be fitted does not control the trailer braking
system. Great care should therefore be taken when driving on slippery road surfaces.
