WARNING Improper trailer towing can cause loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury. x Driving with a trailer and carrying heavy or bulky items changes the way the vehice lhan- dles and increases the distance it needs to stop safely. x Always watch what is happening up ahead and around you. Brake earlier than you would if you were not towing a trailer. x Always adapt your speed and driving to the heavier load and the weight distributio inn the vehicle. Take road, weather, traffic, and visibility conditions into account as well. x Reduce your speed even more than you otherwise would when going downhill and under unfavorable load, weather, or wind conditions. x Drive especially carefully and accelerate gently. Always avoid sudden maneuvers and hard braking. x Be especially careful when passing other vehicles. x Reduce speed immediately if the trailer shows even the slightest sign of swaying. x Never try to stop the swaying by accelerating. x Always obey speed limits. In some areas speed limits for vehicles towing trailers ae rlower than for vehicles without trailers.

Your vehicle is not equipped with a trailer hitch or preparations for the installation of a trailer hitch. If you must tow a trailer, you must have the necessary electrical wiring and socket together with a suita- ble trailer hitch installed. Because towing a trailer places a great deal of stress on the vehicle, the attachment of a trailer to the vehicle and the dimensions of the receiver and ball mount are very im- portant so that the extra forces the vehicle has to withstand can be properly handled. The receiver used requires both a ball mount and a ball that meet special requirements regarding geometry and size. This applies to both the height of the ball above the surface where it attaches ⇒ fig. 115 (A), and the pin-to-ball distance (B). These dimensions are important because they help determine the way that the forces that arise during towing are applied to the receiver and its attachments to the vehicle. If you buy a ball mount and ball, make sure that they meet the following specifications. Ball mount dimensions x The drop heigh(A)t from the center of the ball to the center of the hole for the securing pin on the ball mount must be at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) and at most 27/ inches (73 mm). 8
