WARNING
Improper trailer towing can cause loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury.
Driving with a trailer and carrying heavy or bulky items changes the way the vehicle handles
and increases the distance it needs to stop safely.
Always watch what is happening up ahead and around you. Brake earlier than you would if
you were not towing a trailer.
Always adapt your speed and driving to the heavier load and the weight distribution in the ve‐
hicle. Take road, weather, traffic, and visibility conditions into account as well.
Reduce your speed even more than you otherwise would when going downhill and under unfa‐
vorable load, weather, or wind conditions.
Drive especially carefully and accelerate gently. Always avoid sudden maneuvers and hard
braking.
Be especially careful when passing other vehicles.
Reduce speed immediately if the trailer shows even the slightest sign of swaying.
Never try to stop the swaying by accelerating.
Always obey speed limits. In some areas speed limits for vehicles towing trailers are lower
than for vehicles without trailers.
