* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). **

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW 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 by 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.

JBL EQUIPMENT

4 two-wa
y speaker kits, separated by an active fi lter, are fi tted at front and rear.
These are based on a fabric dome tweeter deliverin
g stable and balanced
treble reproduction and a 50W RMS neodymium magnet inverted motor medium-woofer possessing a very high output of bass frequencies.
The central line in the dashboard improves reproduction o
f the musicalscene, putting the listener in a situation that realistically reproduces
the original musical recording.
The bass unit located in the boot carries a 150W tri
ple-coil true subwoofer
in an optimised space, giving depth and impact to the bass ranges.
This set of speakers is controlled b
y a 10-way 500W RMS 2 ohm
amplifi er, using advanced surround sound and sound distribution handling, so as to deliver optimum performance both for the driver and for
the passengers in the vehicle.
