items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight approaches

the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
s u r e s .
Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance.
Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.
Side wind: T a k e i n t o a c c o u n t t h e
increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
i n c r e a s e s t h e t e m p e r a t u r e o f t h e
coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.

mits the recovery of engine power
and therefore an increase in the tow-
ing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
