If the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. Accelerate
carefully and make sure that the wheels do not
spin when driving on steep terrain.
For further information about the maximum gra- dient climbing ability, see (Y page 170).Trailer tow hitch
Mounting dimensions
! If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
changes to the cooling system and drive train
may be necessary, depending on the vehicle
type.
If you have a trailer tow hitch retrofitted,
observe the anchorage points on the chassis
frame. 0043
