Towing
Land Rover approved trailer electrical
When towing a trailer over 2,000 kg (4,400 lb),
a smoother start can be achieved by moving off
in Low range then changing to High range while
on the move. See 104, RANGE CHANGING ON
THE MOVE
connectors will disable the automatic
off-road height selections requested
by the Terrain response.
TOWING A TRAILER
The use of weight distribution hitches
are not recommended.
It is the driver's responsibility to make sure that
the towing vehicle and trailer are being used
correctly and in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations and
applicable legislation.
TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST (TSA)
Note: This feature may not operate with all
trailer designs.
Never exceed any of the following
weights; GVW, maximum rear axle
weight, maximum trailer weight,
maximum permissible nose load and
maximum towing equipment nose load.
Doing so can cause accelerated wear
and damage to the vehicle. It can also
adversely affect vehicle stability and
braking which in turn can lead to loss
of control and increased braking
distance, resulting in a rollover or
crash.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) will not
operate in the event of the trailer
jack-knifing.
The ability of the system may be reduced
when travelling on slippery surfaces.
TSA is an automatic feature to assist the stability
of a trailer when towing. If trailer sway is
detected, engine power will be gradually
reduced and the brakes applied to help regain
control.
Note: TSA will not operate when DSC is
switched off.
To preserve handling and stability, only
fit Land Rover approved towing
accessories.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
Never use towing eyes or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose and
doing so may cause them to fail,
resulting in injury or death.
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball, as it may slide off.
Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW), maximum rear-axle
weight, maximum trailer weight or
nose weight. Exceeding any of these
limits could cause instability and a loss
of control.
When towing, do not exceed 100 km/h
(60
mph), or 80 km/h (50 mph) if the
temporary spare wheel is in use.
To avoid overheating the gearbox, it is
not advisable to tow heavy trailer loads
at speeds of less than 32 km/h (21 mph)
in High range. Select Low range instead.
•
When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer, remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load. See
261, WEIGHTS.
