Load reduction modeSystem which manages the use of certain functions according to the level of charge
r
emaining in the battery.
When
the vehicle is being driven, the load
r
eduction function temporarily deactivates
c
ertain functions, such as the air conditioning,
t
he heated rear screen...
The
deactivated functions are reactivated
a
utomatically as soon as conditions permit.Energy economy modeSystem which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of c
harge in the battery.
After
the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen
w
ipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of
t
hirty minutes. This
period may be greatly reduced if
t
he battery is not fully charged.
A
flat battery prevents the engine from
s
tarting.
If
the telephone is being used at the
s
ame time, it will be interrupted after
10
m
inutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message appears in the screen indicating that the
v
ehicle has switched to economy mode and the
a
ctive functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically the next time the vehicle is driven.
F

n order to resume the use of these
f
unctions immediately, start the engine and
l
et it run for a few minutes.
The
time available to you will then be double
t
he period for which the engine is left running.

Towing with the gT RACIn g version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a t
owbar. The space occupied by the
s
port diffuser prevents this.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F

warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
t
he engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine

Manual gearbox
Automatic gearboxBrake pads
Brake wear depends on the style o
f driving, particularly in the case o
f vehicles used in town, over short
d
istances. It may be necessary to have
t
he condition of the brakes checked,
e
ven between vehicle services.
The
gearbox
does
not
require
any
m
aintenance
(no
oil
change).
Refer

Brake disc wearParking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of e
ffectiveness of this system is
n
oticed, the parking brake must be
c
hecked, even between two services.
Unless
there
is
a

in
the
circuit,
a

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The
speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High
ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
