Towing bracket device
it is advisable not to drive at the maximum
permissibl e speed in an unf
av
ourable road,
weather or wind conditions. This applies es-
pecially when driving downhill.
You should always reduce speed immediately
if the trailer shows the slightest sign of snak-
ing. Never try to stop the “snaking” by in-
creasing speed.
Always brake in due course. If the trailer has
an overrun brake, apply the brakes gently at
first and then, firmly. This will prevent the jerk-
ing that can be caused by locking of trailer
wheels. Select a low gear in due course be-
fore going down a steep downhill. This ena-
bles you to use the engine braking to slow
down the vehicle.
Reheating
At very high temperatures and during pro-
longed slopes, driving in a low gear and high
engine speed, always monitor the coolant
temperature gauge
