If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.

not fit to be driven.

suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.

visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).

approved dealer as soon as possible.
radiator: If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling
