PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
m a y a l s o b e u s e d f o r t o w i n g a t r a i l e r . Driving advice
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
a m b i e n t t e m p e r a t u r e .
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
t e m p e r a t u r e .
Side wind
Take into account the increased
s e n s i t i v i t y t o s i d e w i n d .
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
t h e t e m p e r a t u r e o f t h e c o o l a n t .
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
t h e e n g i n e s p e e d .
To lower the engine speed, reduce
y o u r s p e e d . Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
d i s t a n c e .
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
i n g t h e r e c o m m e n d e d p r e s s u r e s .
Lighting
Check the electrical signalling on
t h e t r a i l e r .
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if an

If the warning lamp and
the STOP warning lamp

Distribution of loads
D i s t r i b u t e t h e l o a d i n t h e t r a i l e r s o
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
p e r m i t t e d w i t h o u t e x c e e d i n g i t .
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
r e d u c i n g e n g i n e p e r f o r m a n c e . A b o v e
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
e v e r y 1 0 0 0 m e t r e s o f a l t i t u d e .
