closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.). Risk of fire!
Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Take care not to place objects in contact

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least around 600
miles (1,000 kilometres).
When the exterior temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1
to
2
minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.

the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave
the engine running for 4
minutes
