TOWING TRAILERS
(where provided)
For towing caravans or trailers the car
must be fitted with an approved tow
hook and an adequate electrical system.
Should aftermarket installation be
requested, this must be carried out by
specialists.
Install any specific and/or additional door
mirrors as specified by the Highway
Code.
Remember that, when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight of
the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car
tow hook reduces the car's loading
capacity by the same amount. To make
sure that the maximum towable weight is
not exceeded (given in the vehicle
registration document) account should
be taken of the fully laden trailer,
including accessories and luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in the
case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case, the top speed must not exceed
60 mph (100 km/h).
Any electric brake must be powered
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross-section of no less than
0.004 in
2
(2.5 mm
2
).
In addition to the electrical branches, the
car electrical system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use the
preset control unit with a battery cable
with section not less than 0.004 in
2
(2.5 mm
2
).
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (e.g. electric
brake) must take place with engine
running.
