Driving at 100 km/h
Fig. 68
Maximum speed / 100 km/h sticker
In Germany, your trailer can be licensed for a top
speed of max. 100 km/h. In other countries, the top
speed for cars with trailers outside built-up areas
may vary. Comply with the national road traffic
regulations.
Several factors need to be met for a 100 km/h licence.
For more information-
see “Licensed to be driven at 100 km/h” on page 158.
Check whether your trailer and car meet the
requirements for a 100 km/h permit.
Have any missing wheel shock absorbers retrofitted to
your trailer.
Circling / cornering
Fig. 69
Steering in / turning circle
NOTICE
Risk of collision if corner is turned too sharply / when
reversing / turning around!
If the steering wheel is turned too sharply, e.g. when
reversing, then the trailer / support wheel / drawbar could
collide with the car - material damage.
When turning corners / turning around / reversing, do
not steer too sharply - pay attention to the area behind
you.
The turning circle of your trailer depends on many
factors: Length of trailer, length of drawbar, support
wheel attached to side.
For long trailers and turntable trailers, the turning circle is
larger and the follow-up curve smaller.
When using your trailer for the first time, check how
tightly you can turn with the trailer.
Reversing
Fig. 70
Manoeuvring
When reversing, the view to the rear is blocked by
the load or the trailer body.
Be especially careful when reversing. Please note that it
may be necessary to turn the steering wheel the opposite
way.
Practice reversing in a suitable area.
If necessary, allow someone to guide you.
Make sure that you can always see the person in your
wing mirror.
Keep people who are not involved away from the
back of the trailer.
