If you tow a trailer at an altitude of more than
1,000 m above sea-level, reduce your weight
by 10 % of the gross combination weight for
every increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to de-
crease in atmospheric pressure.

Operating hints
l
To prevent the clutch from slipping (Ve-
hicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when start-
ing off.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you
obey the local regulations in case driving
speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l
To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower shift point before de-
scending a slope.
