PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN,
ETC.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close

w e i g h t a p p r o a c h e s t h e m a x i m u m

Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 0 0 0 m e t r e s , t h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres
of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle. T h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g l o a d o n a l o n g
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lights
Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
If this message is
displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.

Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing

We recommend the use of origi-

harnesses that have been tested
and approved from the design

TECHNICAL DATA
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG) WEIGHTS
* The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).
** The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
*** The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing ca pacities of the vehicle on a 12 % gradient.
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the perf ormance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
the exterior temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the tow ed weight to 600 kg, without load transfer.

E. Tyres/paint label.
T h i s l a b e l i s a f fi x e d t o t h e p a s s e n g e r ' s door centre pillar.
It indicates the following information:
- the tyres pressures without load and with load,
- the rim and tyre sizes,
- the pressure of the spare wheel,
- the paint colour reference. The tyre pressures must be
checked when cold at least once
a month.
IDENTIFICATION FEATURES IDENTIFICA
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
F.
Serial number behind the windscreen.
This number is engraved on the fascia, behind the windscreen.
