RACING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a towbar. The space occupied by thesport diffuser prevents this.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Braking
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signallingon the trailer.

Precautions for use
Do not place objects on the roof, whether open or closed.
In the event of prolonged storage of the vehicle outside, it is recommended that the roof be
protected with a cover.
To avoid damaging the roof, do not open it under snowy or frosty conditions.
Do not use sharp tools to remove ice or accumulations of snow on the roof.
Do not use scrapers or aerosol products to remove ice that may have formed on the rear
screen.
Avoid operating the heated rear screen when the roof is completely open (risk of
overheating).
To limit the creation of folds in the roof fabric, it is recommended that the roof not be left
open for long periods.
The vehicle's air conditioning system should not be operated while the roof is open.
It is strictly prohibited to sit on or place objects on the transverse roof support when the roof
is open.
It is recommended that the roof be closed when the vehicle is left parked.
Even if the roof is closed, it is prudent not to leave any valuable objects inside the vehicle.
When you leave the vehicle, remove the ignition key to avoid any unwanted operation of the
roof.
If your vehicle has a voice command system, this may not work as well when driving with
the roof open.
Protection of the roof opening and closing electric motors: during repeated opening and
closing of the roof, the electric motors may become too hot and then no longer allow the
roof to be opened or closed. Allow the motors to cool down by not operating the roof for
ten minutes.
- an opening operation in progress in zone B
is continued through to completion,
- a closing operation in progress in zone B
is
stopped and complete opening of the roof
to position 3
is carried out automatically,
- an opening or closing operation in zone B
following an "anti-panic" function is
continued through to completion.
A new operation of the roof will be
possible as soon as the vehicle's speed
drops below about 70 mph (120 km/h).
