REAR VIEW MIRRORS
INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR fig. 35
(for versions/markets where available)
The mirror is fitted with a safety device that causes its re-
lease in the event of a violent impact with the passenger.
Lever A can be used to move the mirror to two different
positions: normal or antiglare.
When driving, the mirrors should always
be in position A-fig. 36.
Because the door mirrors are curved, they slight-
ly alter the perception of distance.
WARNING

Manual mirror folding
When required (for example when the shape causes dif-
ficulty in narrow spaces), it is possible to fold the mirrors
by moving them from position A-fig. 36 to position B.

INDEXTOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved tow
hitch and adequate electrical system to tow trailers. In-
stallation must be performed by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors in
accordance with the highway code of the country in which
you are travelling.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are hard-
er to climb, braking distances increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than con-
stantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle tow hitch will re-
duce the loading capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount.
Consider the weight at full load, including accessories and
luggage, to make sure you do not exceed the maximum
towable weight (shown in the log book).
Respect each country’s speed limits for vehicles towing
trailers. In all cases, the top speed must not exceed
80 km/h. CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-ups prevent the
engine from reaching its optimum running temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to +30% on
the urban cycle) and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue with
frequent use of low gears or in cities with lots of traffic
lights, causes fairly high fuel consumption. Mountain roads
and uneven surfaces also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. at level crossings) the
engine should be switched off.
