towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.As the fan is electronically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. '2

in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximumload up a steep slope in high tem-peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows theengine power to be recovered, andtherefore the towing speed to be sig-nificantly increased (approximately12 mph [20 km/h] more). If the coolant temperature warning light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos-sible.
