Towing

To maintain vehicle stability, it is essential
that the trailer is loaded so that it remains
parallel to the ground. This is particularly
important when towing twin axled trailers.
If the vehicle is loaded to maximum GVW
the nose weight is limited to 150 kg (330
lbs). See 79, TOWING WEIGHTS.
Make sure that a suitable breakaway cable
or secondary coupling is used. Refer to the
trailer manufacturer's instructions for
guidance.
Make sure that the tow ball is secure.
Check the operation of all trailer lights.
Australia only:
Nose weight must be a minimum of 7% of
gross caravan/trailer weight, up to a maximum
of 150 kg (330 lb).
TRAILER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Attach only approved electrical
connectors, which are in good
condition, to the trailer socket.
The vehicle connector provides a 5 amp output
which must not be exceeded. An accessory
harness kit increasing output to 15 amp is
available from a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
When a trailer's electrical connection is made
and the vehicle’s direction indicators are used,
the trailer warning indicator will flash in time
with the direction indicators. See 46, TRAILER
DIRECTION INDICATORS (GREEN).
TRAILER STABILITY ASSIST (TSA)
When a trailer is attached, TSA will
automatically detect when a trailer sway is
developing. It will then gradually reduce vehicle
speed by cutting engine power and applying
the brakes to help regain control.
HITCH ASSIST
Hitch assist is a user selectable Touch screen
feature that can aid the process of guiding the
vehicle to a trailer tow hitch. Use Hitch assist
while reversing the vehicle to a trailer hitch.
Proceed as follows:
1. Engage reverse gear. The rear camera
provides a wide-angle rear view colour
image on the Touch screen.
2. Touch the Hitch assist icon on the Touch
screen to enable the Hitch assist guidance
lines to be displayed. See 97, REAR
CAMERA.
3. Reverse the vehicle towards the trailer.
4. As the vehicle closes to within 600 mm (2
ft) of the trailer tow hitch, an automated
zoom feature is operated to enlarge the
view.
5. Continue the manoeuvre carefully until the
vehicle and trailer are as close as required.
FITTING THE DETACHABLE TOW
BALL
Fit and remove instructions are supplied with
