Perform these adjustments
only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is not running.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.

¥.ACTIVATION OF INTERNAL
AIR RECIRCULATION
Turn cursor Bto position
v.
It is advisable to activate air recirculation
during vehicle stops in queues or tunnels
to prevent the introduction of polluted air
from the outside.
Do not use the function for a long time,
particularly if there are many passengers
on board, to prevent the windows from
misting up.
IMPORTANT The internal air recircula-
tion system makes it possible to reach the
required “heating” or “cooling” condi-
tions faster. Do not use the air recircula-
tion function on rainy/cold days as it would
considerably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside. DEMISTING/DEFROSTING OF REAR
HEATED WINDOW AND DOOR
MIRRORS (where provided)
Press button (to engage this function.
When the function is active, a led on the
button goes on.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The vehicle must be provided with a type-
approved tow hitch and adequate electri-
cal system to tow caravans or trailers. In-
stallation must be performed by specialised
personnel who will issue the required pa-
pers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-
view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the braking
spaces increase and overtaking takes longer
depending on the overall weight of the trail-
er.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The ABS with which the ve-
hicle may be equipped will
not control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is required
on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the vehicle to con-
trol the trailer brake. The trailer brak-
ing system must be fully independent
from the hydraulic system of the ve-
hicle.
WARNING
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle tow
hitch will reduce the loading capacity of the
vehicle by the same amount.
Consider the weight of the vehicle at full
load, including accessories and luggage to
make sure you do not exceed the maxi-
mum towable weight (shown on the reg-
istration certificate).
Respect the speed limits specific for each
country for vehicles towing trailers. In all
cases, the top speed must not exceed 80
km/h.
