use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.

vehicle and of the trailer
, observing the
recommended pressures. Chapter 7, "Levels" section.If the coolant temperature
