TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
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.

topping up the level, if necessary.

We recommend the use of

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so

Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above

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.

General notes on CDs
Playing an audio CD When the audio CD is
inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is
automatic and they can
be recorded onto the
hard disc.
Simultaneous access to the music
recognition service “Gracenote CDDB”
on the hard disc permits displaying of
the title information. Switching off the engine or removing
the CD during recording will result in the
tracks being faulty.
The operation of the navigation system
may slow down during recording.
The recording speed may be slower
t h a n 4 x d u e t o t h e p r o c e s s i n g l o a d o n
the equipment or the condition of the
audio CD.
If jumps or other errors occur, return to
the beginning of the track and start the
recording again.
Even if there is no gap between the
tracks on the CD, a brief silence between
tracks is stored on the hard disc. What is the Gracenote CDDB?
The title information for the
track currently being played
can be obtained from the
“Gracenote CDDB” database
stored on the hard disc.
The Gracenote company uses
this standard to identify the music and
the associated information such as:
- the title of the album,
- the name of the artist,
- the title of the tracks,
- the genre, ...
For further details, consult the site:
www.gracenote.com.
The Gracenote CDDB database
incorporated in this equipment cannot
guarantee the content of the data
100%. You can update this database
using a DVD sold separately.
Copyright
Your Audio equipment may allow you to
listen to music which is usually protected
by copyright in accordance with current
national and international standards.
Please consult these standards and
comply with them.

MP3/WMA) can be recorded
o n t o t h e h a r d d i s c a t a p p r o x i -
m a t e l y 4 x s p e e d ( e . g . 6 0 m i n u t e s c o n -
verted to 15 minutes) and stored on the
music server.
The sounds recorded may be altered
by the noise present and the quality of
the sound may differ from the original.
The tracks recorded on the music
