Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
th
e two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
en
sure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

Engine characteristics
the engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel,
Co

t
he registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
the
se characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in
e
u
ropean legislation
(Directive
1999/99/

Weights
the kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight + driver (75 kg).
th
e gt
W a
nd towed load values indicated
apply up to a maximum altitude of
1
000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for every additional
1
000 metres.
th
e weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the
gt
W l
imit, on condition
that the
g
V
W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount.
the
recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable with or
without tools). High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine; when
the ambient temperature is higher
than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.
to
wing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when
towing (comply with the legislation in
force in your country).
GV W:
gross vehicle weight, the maximum authorised vehicle weight.GT W: gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of
vehicle plus trailer.
