Towing service
Entrust your vehicle only to the towing
service of your choice and obtain an
estimate on towing costs before employing
any tow ing service. In this way you avoid
unnecessary costs and possible insurance
problems during claim processing.
Significa ntly g reater force is required for
braking: The brake servo unit is only
operational when the engine is running.
Considerably greater steering force is
necessary since this unit is operative only
when the engine is running.
