Increase tyre pressure on the towing 

vehicle to the value specified for a full load 

(see pages 205, 206). Also check the 

inflation pressure of the spare wheel and 

the caravan / trailer wheels.

For caravans / trailers with brake, attach 

the break-away stopping cable to the eye 

(see arrow in figure). 
Before attaching the caravan / trailer, 

lubricate the ball of the 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 on the 

vehicle is deactivated when towing a 

caravan or trailer. 
Caravans / trailers with LED turn signals 

require a provision that make bulb 

replacement as with standard bulbs 

possible.

see page 25.

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. 
In the case of trailers with low driving 

stability, do not exceed a speed of 50 mph 

(80 km/h); the use of a friction-type 

stabiliser is highly recommended. 
Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) 

if possible, even in countries where higher 

speeds are permitted.
