observing the recommended pres-

Braking: Towing increases the braking
distance.
Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.

Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope

As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.

permits the recovery of engine pow-

towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
