Characteristics of engines
and towed loads
Engines
The engine specifications (capacity, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions,
e
tc.) for your vehicle are given in the
registration document and in the sales
literature.
These characteristics correspond to the values
type-approved on a

test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact the dealer
network or a

qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document and in the sales literature.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact the dealer
network or a qualified workshop. The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a
maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load value must be reduced by 10%
for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towbar (removable with or without a tool).
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine. If the
exterior temperature is above 37°C, limit
the towed load.
Towing with a
towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a
trailer increases the braking
distance.
When towing, never exceed the speed
of 62
mph (100 km/h) (obser ve the local
legislation in force). If the exterior 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.
