ABS system*
This system increases safety by preventing the wheels from locking in the event of harsh braking or in conditions of poor grip. It enables the driver to maintain control of the steering.
The operating capacity of all the essential electrical elements of the ABS system is controlled by an electronic moni-
toring system both before and during driving. The ABS light comes on when the ignition is switched on, and should
go out after approximately two seconds. If the light does not go out, this indicates that the ABS is disconnected due
to a fault. Likewise, if the light comes on while driving, this indicates that the ABS is not operating. In both cases,
the normal braking system remains effective, as on a vehicle without ABS. However, to avoid the occurrence of other
faults with unknown consequences, the ABS should be inspected as soon as possible by an approved dealer.
It is still necessary to drive carefully on slippery surfaces (loose stones, snow, ice, etc.)..
67III-3BRAKES
Handbrake
The handbrake is operated by pulling the lever upwards. The greater the slope you are on, the greater the force that should be applied in pulling the
lever.
To ease the action of the handbrake lever, it is recommended that you press the brake pedal at the same time. As a precaution, 1st gear should be engaged in all cases. On steep slopes, you should also turn the wheels towards the kerb.
To release the handbrake, pressthe button while pulling the lever up, then
lower the lever to the fully down position.The warning light comes on if the handbrake is on or not fully released, with the ignition on.

Towbar The installation of a towbar should be carried out by an approved dealer who will know the towing capacity of your
vehicle and have the necessary information on the fitting of such a safety related item. The dealer will also be aware
of any modifications to the vehicleÕs cooling system needed to cater for any arduous towing conditions.
Towing (boat, caravan, etc.)
¥ Before setting off :- check the tyre pressures of both the vehicle and the towed load and check the signalling lamps on the towed load.
- practise manoeuvring, especially reversing.
- regularly grease the towball hitch, remove it when not required.
¥ Spread the load inside the caravan and keep within the weight limits.
¥ Always drive at a moderate speed, Change down to a lower gear in good time before going uphill and downhill. Be aware of the effect of side winds.
¥ Towing increases fuel consumption.
¥ Braking distances are increased. Use the brakes gently and progressively. Avoid harsh braking.
¥ When parking on a slope: as well as following the instructions for operation of the handbrake, make sure that the towbar is properly locked and use wheel chocks if necessary.
106VI-7SAFETY ADVICE
Keep within the towing limits of your vehicle.
In the case of a towing vehicle exceeding its maximum rear axle weight or Gross Vehicle Weight, its speed limit is 60 mph (100 Km/h).
Towing weights: see ÒGENERALÓ.
