WARNING
Always drive particularly carefully with the trailer.
Loading a trailer
The vehicle/trailer combination must be balanced, whereby the maximum permissible drawbar load must be utilised. If the drawbar load is too low, it jeopardises the performance of the vehicle/trailer combination.
Distribution of the load
Distribute the load in the trailer in such a way that heavy items are located as close to the axle as possible. Secure the items from slipping.
The distribution of the weight is very poor if your vehicle is unladen and the trailer is laden. Maintain a particularly low speed if you cannot avoid driving with this combination.
Tyre pressure
Correct the tyre inflation pressure on your vehicle for a “full load” » page 152, Tyre service life.
Trailer load
The permissible trailer load must not be exceeded under any circumstances » page 175, Technical data.
The trailer loads specified apply only to altitudes up to 1 000 metres above mean sea level.
The engine output falls as altitude increases, as does the ability to climb.
Therefore, for every additional 1000 m in height (or part), the maximum permissible towed weight must be reduced by 10 %.
The towed weight comprises the actual weights of the (loaded) towing vehicle and the (loaded) trailer.
The trailer and drawbar load information on the type plate of the towing equipment are merely test data for the towing equipment. The vehicle-specific values are detailed in the vehicle documents.
WARNING
Towing a trailer
Exterior mirrors
You have to have additional exterior mirrors fitted if you are not able to see the traffic behind the trailer with the standard rear-view mirrors. National legal requirements must be observed.
Headlights
The front of the vehicle can be lifted when a trailer is being towed and the headlights can dazzle other road users.
Adjust the headlight setting on the headlight range control » page 57, Headlight beam adjustment.
Driving speed
For safety reasons, do not drive faster than 80 km/h when towing a trailer.
Immediately reduce your speed as soon as even the slightest swaying of the trailer is detected. Never attempt to stop the trailer from “swaying” by accelerating.
Brakes
Apply the brakes in good time! If the trailer is fitted with a trailer brake, apply the brakes gently at first, then brake firmly. This will avoid brake jolts resulting from the trailer wheels locking.
On downhill sections shift down a gear in good time to also use the engine as a brake.
Engine overheating
The speed must be reduced immediately if the needle for the coolant temperature gauge moves into the right-hand area or the red area of the scale.
Stop and switch off the engine if the warning light
in the instrument cluster
starts to flash. Wait a few minutes and check the level of coolant » page 145,
Checking the coolant level.
The following guidelines must be observed » page 37,
Coolant.
The coolant temperature can be reduced by switching on the heating.
WARNING
Note
Anti-theft alarm system
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm is activated as soon as the electrical connection to the trailer is interrupted
Always switch off the anti-theft alarm system before a trailer is coupled or uncoupled » page 49.
Conditions for including a trailer in the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
For technical reasons, trailers with rear LED lights cannot be connected to the anti-theft alarm system.
