TYRE PRESSURES (2/2)
Special note concerning fully laden
vehicles (Maximum Permissible All-Up
Weight) and towing a trailer: the maxi-
mum speed must be limited to 60 mph
(100 kph) and the tyre pressure in-
creased by 0.2 bar.
Please refer to the information on
“Weights” in Section 6.
Tyre safety and use of snow chains:
Refer to the information on “Tyres” in
Section 5 for the servicing conditions
and, depending on the version, the use
of chains.Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the
 warning light on
the instrument panel comes on. See
“Tyre pressure loss warning” paragraph
in chapter 2.
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least
equal to those of the original
tyres, or conform to those recom-
mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.

TOWING: breakdown (1/3)
Before any towing, put the gears into
neutral (neutral position for vehicles
equipped with a manual gearbox or N
position for vehicles equipped with an
automatic gearbox).
Unlock the steering column; the igni-
tion key must be in “M” position (ig-
nition) to enable signalling (“Stop”
lights, hazard warning lights, etc.).
Always switch on the lights when
driving at night.
Release the parking brake.
It is also essential to observe the towing
regulations imposed by current legisla-
tion in your country. Please contact an
authorised dealer.
Front and rear towing pointsOnly use the front 1 and rear 2
towing points.
Depending on the vehicle, unclip the
cover 3 by inserting a flat tool under the
cover.
When the engine is stop-
ped, steering and braking
assistance are not opera-
tional.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
– Use a rigid towing bar. If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows
this), the vehicle being towed must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this may result
in damage being caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is advisable not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.

TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
4-wheel drive vehicles (4WD)
Whichever type of gearbox is fitted, a
4WD vehicle must never be towed if
any of its 4 wheels are touching the
ground.
Off-road recovery
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow
or mud, attach a flexible towing device
(towing belt or other device specially
designed for this purpose) to the front
or rear towing point (refer to the in-
formation on “Front and rear towing
points” on the previous page).
For off-road recovery, it
is forbidden to use a rigid
bar to tow a vehicle that is
stuck. Risk of mechanical
damage.You must never tow a 4-wheel drive
vehicle, irrespective of the mode se-
lected, if one of the 4 wheels is in
contact with the ground (except for
off-road recovery). Risk of mechani-
cal damage.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for information on how to fit
and operate the equipment.
If a 4x4 ( 4WD) vehicle becomes
stuck, it should only be towed for a
short distance. Risk of mechanical
damage.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.

WEIGHTS (in kg)
Versions4x2 4x4
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Total train weight (MTR) Weights shown 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* 580 640
Permissible nose weight* 75
Maximum permissible load on roof with a
carrying device 80 (including the carrying device)
*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 an authorised dealer for any towing equipment m\
odifications.
– For vehicles fitted with a trailer, the gross train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded. However, the following
is tolerated:
– 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 1,0\
00 metres thereafter.
Weight transfer (depending on the vehicle)
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 200 kg can be\
transferred to the braked trailer, with in
the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
The weights shown are for a basic vehicle without options: they will var\
y depending on the equipment level of your ve-
hicle. Please consult an authorised dealer.
