Driving characteristics, towing

tips

In the case of caravans / trailers with

brakes, attach the breakaway stopping

cable to the eye 3 or loop around coupling

ball b ar if no eye is ava ila ble.

Ensure cable is crossed under the coupling

socket to ensure the caravan / trailer nose

cannot drop to the ground if it becomes

separated from the hitch.

Do not allow the cable to drag along the

ground and always allow enough sla ck to

permit full turning. Follow the instructions

supplied with the towing equipment.

Before coupling the caravan / trailer,

lubricate the ball of the caravan / trailer

towing device. However, do not do so if a

stabilizer which acts on the coupling ball is

being used to damp rolling motions.

Handling is greatly influenced by the

loading of the caravan / trailer. Loads

should therefore be secured so that they

cannot slip and be placed in the centre of

the caravan / trailer if possible, i.e. above

the axle.

Genuine Vauxhall Accessories which can

be subsequently fitted aid trailer

operation, e.g. large mirrors for wide

caravans / trailers.

In the case of caravans / trailers with low

directional stability, it is advisable to use a

friction-type stabilizer to damp rolling

motions.

Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80km/h),

even in countries where higher speeds are

permitted.

When driving uphill, do not drive faster

than 20 mph (30 km/h) in 1st gear, or

30 mp h (50 km/h) in 2nd gear.

Make sure that you have enough room

when cornering and a void sud den

manoeuvres.

If the caravan / trailer starts to sway, drive

more slowly, do not attempt to correct the

steering and brake sharply if necessary.

If it is necessary to apply the brakes fully,

depress the brake pedal as hard as

possible.

The cooling fan is electrically operated.

The fan cooling capacity is not, therefore,

dependant on engine speed. It is not

necessary, when driving uphill to shift down

into a lower gear if the vehicle can climb in

a higher gear.

When coupled to a caravan / trailer, the

ve hicle requires more braking e ffort when

driving dow n long gradients, so select the

same gear as you would driving uphill and

drive at roughly the same speed.

Automatic transmission in Automatic

mode will select the driving programme

with the optimum engine braking effect.

Remember that braking distances for

vehicles towing caravans / trailers with and

without brakes is always greater than for

vehicles not towing a caravan / trailer. For

caravans / trailers with brakes, follow the

instructions carefully. Do not m ake any

modifications to the brake system.

Always check lights on caravans / trailers

before towing. Ensure national regulations

are observed.

The fog tail light on the vehicle is

deactivated when towing a caravan /

trailer.

When reversing, if possible, have someone

provide assistance.

Drive slowly and shift down into a lower

gear when descending steep grad ients

rather than holding the footbrake

depressed, to avoid overheating and

re duc ed b rake efficiency.
