Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

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.)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long inclinedepends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To a v o i d o v e r h e a t i ng of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.


Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
t
he engine as soon as possible.

MUSIC MEDIA PLAYERS

CD, MP3 CD, USB PLAYER


Insert the CD in the player, insert the USB memorystick in the USB player or connect the USBperipheral to the USB port using a suitable cable (not supplied)

The system builds playlists (in temporary memory),
an operation which can take from a few seconds to several minutes at the fi rst connection.
R
educe the number of non-music fi les and the number of folders to reduce the waiting time.

The playlists are updated every time the ignition isswitched off or connection of a USB memory stick. However, the system memorises these lists and
if they are not modifi ed, the loading time will be shorter.
Pla
y starts automatically after a period which
depends on the capacity of the USB memory stick.
