When towing
Distribution of loads

heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without

As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.

Switching to economy
mode
A message then appears in the instrument
panel screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the active

If a telephone call is being made at this time, it
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your audio

Exiting economy mode
these functions are reactivated automatically

In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

equipment for approximately five minutes,
-
fo

Changing the fluid
Refer to the personalised service schedule for
your vehicle for details of the interval for this
operation.
Fluid specification
the brake fluid must conform to the
ma nufacturer's recommendations.
Coolant level
the coolant level should be close
t o the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.

by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and

Changing the coolant
the coolant does not have to be replaced at routine services.
Fluid specification
the coolant must conform to the
ma nufacturer's recommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.
