RAcING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.  The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Lighting
F Check   the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine

Precautions for use
Never 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. Never use sharp tools to remove ice or accumulations of snow on the roof. Never 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. Operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system is not recommended while the roof is open.
Never 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 Bis 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 Bfollowing 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).
