Methods and matters needing attention of automobile towing trailer

When towing with a trailer hook, the local laws and regulations on trailer towing shall be observed. In case of emergency, if you can't tow by car, you can temporarily tow the vehicle with a trailer hook. However, on hard roads, low speed can only pull a short distance. When towing, the driver must sit in the car and operate the steering wheel and brake pedal. At the same time, wheels, axles, steering, braking, transmission system (transmission, etc. ) and lighting system (turn signal, brake light) must be in good condition. Traction steps are as follows: 1. Turn off the vehicle inclination alarm function through the multimedia display screen. Otherwise, the alarm device of the tractor may start. 2. Find the front trailer hook. 3. Tie the traction rope to the trailer hook, and be careful not to touch the car body. The distance between the tractor and the towed vehicle should be more than 4m and less than 10m, and a white cloth (more than 0.3m) should be tied at the center of the traction rope. 4. Start the vehicle and shift the gear to N gear. Even if the vehicle can't be started, please switch the ignition switch to on mode and switch to N position through the emergency unlocking device of the gear lever. When the transmission gear cannot be switched to N gear, it is forbidden to tow the vehicle with a trailer hook. 5. Turn on the danger indicator, release the parking brake and wait for traction. The traction speed shall not exceed 30km/h, and the total traction distance within the service life of the transmission shall not exceed 50km. Note:-If the vehicle does not start, the auxiliary system will not work, and steering and braking operations will be difficult. Please try to slow down when towing. -During towing, pay attention to the brake light of the vehicle in front to avoid loosening the towing cable. -When driving on a relatively long downhill section, don't tow the vehicle with ropes. -It is forbidden to tow the vehicle backwards.
