If not available, for a limited time only, use un-
leaded fuel:
–  with an octane rating of 91 for a label with  the ratings 95 or 98,

WEIGHTS (in kg)
The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary dep\
ending on the your vehicle’s equipment. Consult 
your approved Dealer.Five door Estate
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMTA)
Gross Train Weight (MTR) Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to 
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked Trailer Weight* found by calculating: MTR - MMAC
Unbraked Trailer Weight* 525 550
Permissible nose weight* 75 60
Maximum permissible load on roof 80 kg (including the carrying device)
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or\
 when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on 
the identification plate.
–  It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local leg\
islation in each country and, in particular, laid down in  the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
–  When towing, under no circumstances may  the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is 
permitted:
–  rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
–  maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reach\
ed first).
  In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not ex\
ceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressures must  be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
–  The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by  10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,0\
00 metres thereafter.
Weight transfer (except utility version)
Depending on the local legislation, if the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 300 kg can be\
 
transferred to the braked trailer, within the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
