❒) In the presence of optional equipment the unladen weight increases and, as a result, the payload decreases in relation to the max-
imum permitted loads.
(
❍) Loads not to be exceeded. The user is responsible for arranging goods in the luggage compartment and/on load carrying plat-
form within the maximum permitted loads.
IMPORTANT A trailer cannot be towed so there are no provisions for fitting a tow hook.

Methane
– Methane (*) . . . . . . . . kg (approx.) 13
(*) The amount of methane depends on
the outside temperature, the supply pres-
sure, the quality of the gas and the type of
refuelling system. Total cylinder volume
about 77 litres.IMPORTANT Please note that, when us-
ing a fuel like methane, the range can vary
greatly as it depends on the temperature
of the gas in the cylinder as well as on the
vehicle driving and maintenance condi-
tions.Methane heats up during filling and cools
down during driving, undergoing changes
in pressure that reduce the quantity that
can be used.
It should also be pointed out that whilst
the vehicle is being run in (up to around
3,000 km) fuel consumption may be high-
er than the figures given. Recommended fuels
