Show answer

Correct answer

  • CBloquear el freno de inercia.Lock out the overrun brake.
Explanation

The correct answer is to lock out the overrun brake because, when reversing with a trailer fitted with an overrun brake, you need to make sure the brake is disabled so that it does not come on and make the manoeuvre difficult. Locking out the overrun brake stops the trailer from braking automatically when you reverse.
