trip. Recognizing any damage and a subse-
quent timely repair reduces the chance of
a possible breakdown or accident later on.
Check tires for possible damage, clean
all exterior lamps, and conduct a brake
test.

technique can result in a loss of vehicle con-
trol when towing a trailer.

sand, water or other dirty conditions
clean the brake discs, wheels, brake
pads and check and clean axle joints.
For instance, after driving in mud, clean
the radiator, chassis, engine, brakes,
and wheels from extreme dirt using a
strong jet of water.
