What action should be taken when the tow mode status indicator light is yellow?

When the tow mode status indicator light is yellow, it typically signals a cautionary situation that requires a careful approach. The correct action of decreasing the use of brake pedals and the parking brake indicates a need to maintain momentum without excessive braking, which could negatively impact the towing procedure. A yellow light serves as an alert to the operator that while the vehicle is still safe to operate, adjustments should be made to optimize performance and prevent potential issues.

In this context, maintaining a moderate approach to braking helps ensure that the aircraft remains stable during the tow, preventing any abrupt stops or excessive drag that could compromise the towing process. This understanding is crucial for ensuring both the safety of the aircraft being towed and the integrity of the towing equipment.

The other choices suggest actions that either go against the caution indicated by the yellow light or do not address the best practices for towing under such circumstances.
