sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged. Check the tyre pressures: if this is not the 
problem, have them checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
White smoke from the exhaust. In the diesel version, this is not neces-
sarily a fault. Smoke may be caused 
by particle filter regeneration. Refer to the information on “Special fea-

Steering becomes heavy. Assistance overheating. Consult an approved dealer.
The engine is overheating. The cool-
ant temperature indicator 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.

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.

WEIGHTS (in kg)
The weights indicated are for a basic vehicle without options: they may \
vary depending on your vehicle’s equipment. 
Consult an approved Dealer.
Maximum Permissible All-Up Weight (MMAC)
Gross Train Weight (MTR)
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMTA)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* 75
Permissible load on the roof with the carrying device 80 (including the carrying device)
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or\
 when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on t he 
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 approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
–  For vehicles fitted with a trailer,  the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded.  However, for vehicles with 
a long chassis, the following conditions are permitted:
–  rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
–  maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reach\
ed 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. You need to reduce the total train weight by 10% at an a l-
titude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres th\
ereafter.
Weight transfer
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 350 kg can be\
 transferred to the braked trailer, with in 
the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
