Closing the bonnet
Check that nothing has been left in the
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the
bonnet in the middle and lower it to
30 cm above the closed position, then
release it. It will latch automatically
under its own weight.
After carrying out any work
in the engine compart-
ment, check that nothing
has been left behind (cloth,
tools, etc.).
These may damage the engine or
cause a fire.
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Check that nothing is pre-
venting the catch from lock-
ing (gravel, cloth, etc.).
In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have
the bonnet lock checked by
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.

TYRE PRESSURE WHEN cold (1/2)

(non-motorway), or if less than 4 people
occupy the vehicle.

(non-motorway), or if less than 4 people
occupy the vehicle.

Label A
Open the driver’s door to read it.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If under-inflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light
lights up on the instrument panel. See
“Tyre pressure loss warning” in
Section 2.
Vehicles used fully laden (Maximum
Permissible All-up Weight) and towing
a trailer
The maximum speed must be limited to
60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pres-
sure increased by 0.2 bar.
Please refer to the information on
“Weights” in Section 6.

Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch dipped, engage
first gear (lever in N or R positions for
vehicles with an automatic gearbox),
insert the key in the ignition-starter
switch.
Reposition the lever to neutral (position
N for vehicles fitted with an automatic
gearbox).
The column is unlocked, the acces-
sory functions are supplied: the vehi-
cle lights can be used (indicators, brake
lights etc.). At night the vehicle must
have its lights on. The speed specified by current legis-
lation for towing must always be ob-
served. If your vehicle is the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
towing weight for your vehicle (refer to
the information on “Weights” in Section
6).
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off:
the
gearbox is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going
forward, with the gear lever in the
Neutral position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
TOWING: breakdown (1/2)
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
1
If the lever is stuck in P ,
even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.
Press simultaneously on mark 1
and on the unlocking button on the
lever.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.

The weights indicated are for a basic vehicle without options: they vary\
depending on the your vehicle’s equipment.
Contact an approved Dealer.
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Total train weight (MTR)Van version Estate version
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 * 610 695
Permissible nose weight * 75
Maximum permissible load on roof 100 (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 respect local towing regulations in force, specifical\
ly those set out in the Highway Code. Please contact your
authorised dealer about adapting 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 48 mph (80 km/h) (van versions) or 60 mph (100 km/h) (estate versions) and the tyre pressure 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.
Load transfer on Estate versions, average wheelbase
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.
