F If  the   warning   lamp   and   the  S
TOP  warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top the vehicle and switch off
the
  engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the  
towing   vehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing  
t

he
 re
commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   
c
oolant  
t

emperature.
