Towing bracket device
●
The maximum v
ertical l
oad t
echnically per-
missible is being utilised on the coupling de-
vice.
●
The trailer has a rigid draw bar.
●
If the trailer has brakes, it must be equipped
with a mechanical overrun brake.
WARNING
The enhanced security provided by the
electric stabilit
y control of the towing vehi-
cle and trailer should not lead you to take
any risks that could compromise your safe-
ty.
●
Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times to suit visibility, weather, road and
traffic conditions.
●
Accelerate with caution when the road is
slippery.
●
When adjusting any settings, stop accel-
erating.
WARNING
The electric stability control for the towing
vehicle and tr
ailer may not correctly de-
tect all driving conditions.
●
When the ESC is switched off, the stabili-
sation of the towing vehicle and trailer is al-
so switched off.
●
The stability system does not always de-
tect light and unstable trailers, so it may
not stabilise these correctly.
●
When driving on slippery surfaces with
poor grip, the tr
ailer can even interfere with
the stability system.
●
Trailers with a high centre of gravity can
tip even without having previously swayed.
●
If a trailer is not attached, but the trailer
power socket is connected (e.g. installation
of a bicycle rack with lights), repeated au-
tomatic braking may occur in extreme driv-
ing conditions.
