228 Driving and Operating
.
Use a lower gear and the brakes
when descending steep hills.
.
Ensure that the tow bar does not
obscure the rear number plate.
Remove the tow bar tongue
when not required for towing.
.
The M10 anti-rattle bolt and nut
should be removed when towing
to prevent damage to the bolt or
tow bar tongue.
Trailer Brakes
.
Trailer brakes are mandatory on
trailers with a trailer mass of
more than 750 kg.
.
Consult the appropriate
regulatory body in your State or
Territory for the legal
requirements of trailer brakes.
Running-in when Towing
It is recommended that a new
vehicle be driven for at least
1,500 km before towing.
If towing is necessary before this,
do not exceed 80 km/h. This also
applies if the vehicle is fitted with a
new or reconditioned engine,
transmission or rear axle.
Off-Road Loading and Towing
To reduce the risk of damage to the
vehicle (and trailer) and to improve
safety when operating the vehicle
off-road, reduce its speed and
minimise the load being carried or
towed.
Vehicle Maintenance
More frequent vehicle maintenance
is required when using the vehicle
to tow. Refer to the Service &
Warranty Booklet in the vehicle's
glove box.
Trailer Sway
Control (TSC)
If the system detects trailer sway
movements, engine power is
reduced and the vehicle/trailer
combination is selectively braked
until the trailer sway ceases. While
the system is working, keep steering
as still as possible.
TSC is a function of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system and
may be disabled by turning the
Traction Control System (TCS) or
ESC off. See Traction Control
System (TCS) 0 205. See Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) 0 206.
