Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on the

- It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in

the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.

- When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded. However the following is

permitted:

- rear MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%;

- maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).

In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h), depending on local legislation,

and the tyre pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).

- The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10%

at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres thereafter.
