To make sure the maximum towable
weight is not exceeded (given in the log

WARNING
The ABS system with
which the car may be fitted
does not control the trailer braking
system. Particular care is therefore
necessary on slippery surfaces.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the car brake sys-
tem be altered to control the
trailer brake. The trailer braking
system must be fully independent
of the car's hydraulic system.
