specifically to trailer towing.

Do not tow a trailer during the
first 800 km (500 mi), to prevent
damage to the engine, axle or
other parts.
.
Then, during the first 800 km
(500 mi) trailer towing, do not
drive over 80 km/h (50 mph) and
do not make starts at full throttle.

Vehicles with automatic
transmissions can tow in D
(Drive) but M (Manual Mode) is
recommended. See

to use the highest gear.
