Towing a trailer


TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...


Driving advice

As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower
the engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
