E140000BFD
NOTICE - For Europe
Your vehicle can  tow a trailer. To identify
what the vehicle  trailering capacity is for
your vehicle,  you  should read  the infor-
mation  in   “Weight  of   the  trailer”   that
appears later in this section.
If  you are  considering  towing with  your
car,  you   should  first  check   with  your
country's  Department of  Motor Vehicles
to determine their legal requirements.
�  The technically permissible maximum
load   on   the   rear   axle(s)   may   be
exceeded by not  more than 15 %  and
the technically  permissible maximum
laden  mass   of   the  vehicle   may  be
exceeded  by not  more than  10  % or
100 kg  (220.4 lbs), whichever value  is
lower. In  this case, do  not exceed 100
km/h (62.1 mph) for vehicle of catego-
ry M1 or 80 km/h (49.7 mph) for vehi-
cle of category N1.
Since laws vary the requirements for tow-
ing trailers,  cars, or  other types of  vehi-
cles  or   apparatus  may  differ.   Ask  an

Trailering  means  changes  in   handling,
durability, and fuel  economy. Successful,
safe  trailering   requires   correct  equip-
ment, and it has to be used  properly.
WARNING - Towing a trail-
er
When a vehicle of category M1 is tow-
ing   a   trailer,   the   additional   load
imposed at the trailer coupling  device
may cause the tire maximum load rat-
ings to  be exceeded,  but not by  more
than 15 %. In this case,  do not exceed
This section  contains many  time-tested,
important trailering  tips and safety rules.
Many  of  these  are   important  for  your
safety   and  that   of   your  passengers.
Please read this  section carefully before
you pull a trailer.
If you  don't use  the correct  equip-
ment and drive improperly, you can
lose control when you pull a trailer.
For  example,  if  the   trailer  is  too
heavy,  the  brakes   may  not   work
well -  or  even at  all. You and  your
passengers  could  be  seriously or
fatally injured.  Pull a  trailer only  if
you  have followed  all the  steps  in
this section.
100
km/h (62.1 mph) and increase  the
tire  inflation pressure  by at  least  0.2
bar.
Load-pulling  components   such  as  the
engine, transmission, wheel  assemblies,
and   tires  are   forced  to   work   harder
against the load of the added weight.The
engine is required to operate at relatively
higher speeds  and under  greater loads.
This  additional  burden  generates  extra
heat. The  trailer also  adds considerably
to wind resistance, increasing the pulling
requirements.
CAUTION
Pulling   a   trailer   improperly   can
damage  your  vehicle  and  result  in
costly repairs not covered by your
warranty. To pull a trailer correctly,
follow the advice in this section.
WARNING - Weight limits
Before towing,  make sure the  total
trailer  weight,   gross  combination
weight, gross vehicle weight, gross
axle weight and  trailer tongue load
are all within the limits.
