ROOF CARRYING SYSTEMS
Refer to the "Technical data -
"Dimensions" section for more
information on the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Maximum load on the roof, evenly
distributed: 150 kg, for all versions,
within the vehicle's weight limit (Gross
Vehicle Weight).
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a carrying
system (roof bars or roof rack) that is
approved for your vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to H1 height
van, combi and minibus versions. On a
minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.

DETACHABLE TOW BALL
This tow ball can be fitted and removed
quickly and easily without the use of tools.
When not towing a trailer, remove the
quickly-detachable tow ball before driving. Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle plus trailer
(Gross Train Weight - GTW).
For information on the maximum
trailer weight and the recommended
nose weight, refer to the "Technical data -
Weights" section. The carrying system must always be
secured to the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8 or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Observe the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
Observe in full the legal requirements
related to carrying outsized loads.

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving

When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS
Refer to your registration certificate and the vehicle's chassis plate.
In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads permitted by local legislation a\

High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance o\
f the vehicle, to protect the engine. When the ambient
temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.
These tables present the type-approved weights (in kg) according to th\
e vehicle model and dimensions.
Load transfer
It is possible, if the towing vehicle has not reached its maximum permitted weight (the Gross Vehicle Weight or GVW), it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.

ball,
- the locking wheel is in contact with the tow ball,
- the key lock is on and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
- the tow ball must no longer move at all in its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
During use
Never unlock the device when a trailer or
