TECHNICAL DATA
WEIGHTS AND TOWING LOADS (in kg)
The GTW and towing load values indicated are valid up t o a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towing load menti oned
must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of a ltitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 k m/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction of the perf ormance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; if the
exterior temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
* The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by a n equal amount; warning, towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
