TRAILER TOWING
If your vehicle has a
detachable towball arm,
always remove it when driving
without a trailer.
The permissible trailer weight limit
is stated in the vehicle registration
document in some countries. If not,
ask your Ford Dealer for details.
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible combined weight of the
vehicle and trailer stated on the
vehicle identification plate. For
further guidance consult your Ford
Dealer. Tow bars and appropriate
electrical kits are available from
Ford Dealers.
In the interests of road safety,
always observe the permissible
trailer weight and nose weight
limits (75 kg).
Failure to comply with permissible
weights may impair vehicle
handling.
The maximum vehicle and trailer
payloads represent technically
binding values for gradients up to
12 % and at an altitude of
1 000 metres above sea level.
Do not exceed the
maximum permissible
speed for driving with a trailer.
