d
river:
-
d

RAcING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar. The space occupied by the
s
port diffuser prevents this.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
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 coolant
t
emperature.
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.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
rear parking sensors will be
