TOWING WEIGHTS
See 254, WEIGHTS, for details of the Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Train Weight
(GTW), axle weights and maximum payload.
Europe only
When towing, the maximum permissible GVW
can be increased by a maximum of 100 kg (220
lb) provided that the road speed is limited to 97
km/h (60 mph).
Note: When calculating rear axle loading,
remember that the trailer nose weight, the load
in the vehicle's luggage area, weight on the
roof rack, and the weight of rear seat
passengers must all be added together.
TOWING A TRAILER
Never exceed the maximum weights
for either the vehicle, or the trailer.
Doing so can cause accelerated wear
and damage to the vehicle. It can also
adversely affect vehicle stability and
braking which in turn can lead to loss
of control and increased braking
distance, resulting in a rollover or
crash.
To preserve handling and stability,
only fit Land Rover approved towing
accessories.
Never use towing eyes or lashing
points to tow a trailer. They have not
been designed for this purpose and
doing so may cause them to fail,
resulting in injury or death.
The Touch screen can display a rear view to
assist with the reversing of the vehicle with a
trailer attached. See 123, SURROUND
CAMERA SYSTEMand also 123, TOW ASSIST.
ESSENTIAL TOWING CHECKS
Do not loop the breakaway cable over
the tow ball as it may slide off.
Do not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight (GVW), maximum rear axle
weight, maximum trailer weight, or
nose weight. Exceeding any of these
limits could cause instability and loss
of control.
When calculating the laden weight of the
trailer, remember to include the weight of
the trailer, plus the weight of the load.
If the load can be divided between the
vehicle and trailer, loading more weight
into the vehicle will generally improve
stability. Do not exceed the vehicle's
weight limits.
Make sure trailer tyre pressures are set to
trailer manufacturer's recommendations.
