Coolant level

The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated by thefan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the en
gine is cold.

Changing the coolant

The power steering fluid level should be close to the "MA X" mark. With
the engine cold, unscrew the cap to check the level. Th
e brake fluid level should be closeto the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.

**
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced b
y 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
