156) When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle performance may be limited
in order to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
reduce the towed weight. Towing even
with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely
affect its road holding. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer. When
using a vehicle to tow, never exceed a
speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) (observe the
local legislation in force).
To identify the weights and loads for
your car, refer to the plate shown in
