Tow bars: Only genuine MG approved tow
bars should be fitted to your vehicle. Only
use the attachment method specified by the
vehicle manufacturer for securing the towing
hitch. Contact your authorised MG dealer for
more information.
Safety chains: Safety chains must be used
as a precautionary measure should the trailer
become unintentionally unhitched. Make sure
the safety chain is securely attached to both
the trailer and the vehicle prior to departure.
Altitude: Your engine delivers less power
at higher altitude. If you tow a trailer in a
mountainous area you should reduce the
combined vehicle and trailer weight by 10%
for every 1000 m of elevation.
Gradients: Where possible, when towing,
you should plan your journey to avoid steep
gradients. The advised brake towing mass
stated assumes a maximum gradient capability
of 12%. Where possible it is recommended
you drive on gradients less than 12%. Follow
the trailer associations recommendations for
suitable roads.
Running in period: Avoid towing a trailer
during your vehicles first 625 miles 1000 km.
Stop/Start function: On vehicles fitted
with a Stop/Start function, manually switch
the Automated Stop/Start function OFF
when towing. The trailer weight can affect
your vehicle’s braking efficiency if Automated
Stop/Start is activated on a hill while towing
a trailer.
