Practical information07
As soon as you release the handle, it is engaged
automatically in its storage case.
Usage position
Towball unlocked:

►  Grasp the towball and rotate it while raising it
until it locks into place, in the vertical position.
The towball must be folded away when
using a high-pressure washer.
Do not direct the jet from less than 30 cm from
the towing system.


►  Raise the electrical socket cover and connect
the plug for the trailer or carrying device.
►  Attach the trailer’s safety cable to the ring in
the towball elbow.
Storage position
When the towing system is not in use, it is
recommended to fold the towball away.
In the event of a rear-end collision, damage to
the vehicle could be worse with the towball in
place.
Towball unlocked and socket disconnected:


►  Grasp the towball and rotate it until it locks
into place, in the horizontal position.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop for any
work on the towing system.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the
vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.

Practical information07
Never store AdBlue® containers in your
vehicle.
Precautions for use
AdBlue® is a urea-based solution. This fluid is non-
flammable, colourless and odourless (when kept
in a cool place).
In the event of contact with the skin, wash the
affected area with soap and running water. In the
event of contact with the eyes, immediately rinse
the eyes with large amounts of water or with an
eye wash solution for at least 15 minutes. Seek
medical attention if you feel a persistent burning
sensation or irritation.
If swallowed, immediately wash out the mouth
with clean water and then drink plenty of water.
In certain conditions (high temperature, for
example), the risk of release of ammonia cannot
be excluded: do not inhale the fluid. Ammonia
vapours have an irritant effect on mucous
membranes (eyes, nose and throat).
Store AdBlue® out of the reach of children,
in its original container.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure that
the vehicle is parked on a flat and level surface.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature
of the vehicle is above -11°C. Otherwise the
AdBlue
® may be frozen and so cannot be poured
into the tank. Park the vehicle in a warmer area
for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried
out.
Never pour the AdBlue® into the Diesel fuel
tank.
If any AdBlue® is splashed, or if there are
any spillages on the bodywork, rinse
immediately with cold water or wipe with a
damp cloth.
If the fluid has crystallised, clean it off using a
sponge and hot water.
Important: in the event of a top-up after an
AdBlue breakdown, you must wait about
5 minutes before switching on the ignition,
without opening the driver's door, unlocking
the vehicle or bringing the electronic key into
the passenger compartment.
Switch on the ignition, then wait for 10
seconds before starting the engine.
►  Press the "START/STOP" button to switch off
the engine.


►  Turn the blue cap of the AdBlue® tank anti-
clockwise and remove it.
►  With a container of AdBlue®: after checking
the expiry date, read the instructions on the
label carefully before pouring the contents of the
container into the vehicle's AdBlue
® tank.
►  With an AdBlue® pump: insert the nozzle and
fill the tank until the nozzle automatically cuts
out.
In order not to overfill the AdBlue® tank:
–
Add betw
een 10 and 13 litres using
AdBlue
® containers.
–
St
op after the nozzle’s first automatic cut-
out, if you are refilling at a service station.
The system only registers AdBlue
®
intermediate top-ups of 5 litres or more.
If the AdBlue® tank is completely empty
– which is confirmed by the message “Top
up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is essential
to add at least 10 litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Free-wheeling
In certain situations, it is necessary to put the
vehicle into free-wheeling mode (e.g. towing, on
a rolling road, automatic car wash (Wash mode),
rail or sea transport).
The procedure varies according to the type of
gearbox and parking brake.
