Trailer weights
The trailer weights and drawbar loads approved are selected in intensive trials
according to precisely defined criteria. The approved trailer weights are valid
for vehicles in the EU for maximum speeds of 80 km/h (in certain circumstances up
to 100 km/h). The figures may be different in other countries. All data in the official
vehicle documents take precedence over these data ⇒
.
Drawbar load
The maximum permitted weight exerted by the trailer drawbar on the ball joint of the towing bracket must not exceed 75 kg. In the interest of road safety, we recommend that you always tow approaching the maximum drawbar load. The response of the trailer on the road will be poor if the drawbar load is too small. If the maximum permissible drawbar load cannot be met (e.g. with small, empty and light-weight single axle trailers or tandem axle trailers with an axle base of less than 1 metre), at least 4% of the actual trailer weight is a legal stipulation for a drawbar load.
WARNING
• For safety reasons, you should not drive at speeds above 80 km/h when towing a trailer. This also applies to countries where higher speeds are permitted.
• Never exceed the maximum trailer weights or the draw bar loading. If the permissible axle load or the permissible total weight is exceeded, the driving characteristics of the vehicle may change, leading to accidents, injuries and damage to the vehicle.
