that when towing a trailer fitted with rear fog lights, the rear fog

When it is freezing, check that the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass
before switching the wipers on for the first time.
If the wiper blades drag, it may be caused by various things:
• If the vehicle has been washed in an automatic car wash,
residual wax may be left on the windscreen.
Filling the windscreen washer container with a window cleaner
containing a wax remover can cure the problem.
• Damaged wiper blades can lead to dragging. In this case the
blades should be renewed.
• The blades are set at an incorrect angle.
Have the angle checked and, if necessary, adjusted by a Technical
Service Centre.
