coolant temperature indica-
tor is in the warning zone and
warning light
® comes on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and contact an
approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the coolant reservoir: it should contain fluid.
If there is no coolant, consult an approved dealer as
soon as possible.
Vibrations. T yres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the problem,
have them checked by an approved dealer.
Radiator:
If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never b\
e topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct p\
roportions. Reminder: only products approved
by our Technical Department may be used for this purpose.

essential that you use unleaded petrol of
the octane rating stated on the label inside the
fuel filler flap.
If not available, for a limited time only, use un-
leaded fuel:
– with an octane rating of 91 for a label showing 95 or 98;
– with an octane rating of 87 for a label showing 91, 95 or 98. Diesel
The label located in the fuel filler flap indicates authorised fuels.

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.
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Total 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* 750
Permissible nose weight* 50
Maximum permissible load on roof Prohibited
Maximum permissible load on the tailgate
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the GTW - MAM calculation is equal to zero, or \
when the GTW is equal to zero (or is not listed) on th e
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 your 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:
– the Maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more th\
an 15%,
– the maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10\
% or 100 kg (whichever occurs 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 1,000 m\
etres thereafter.
