-
 
On
  each   side,   take   hold   of   the  
uprights of the folded seat, tilting it
forward

  slightly,   and   lift   it.Refitting the seat
The label on the seat indicates the
position
  in   which   it   must   be   installed.
-
 
Place
  the   hooks   of   the   front   feet  
between

  the   two   bars.
-
 
Ensure
  that   no   object   or   foot   is  
obstructing the rear anchorage
points and that the seat belt is

Good practice
Following the various operations:
-  
do
  not   remove   a   head   restraint  
without stowing it; secure it inside
the vehicle,
-


ensure that the passengers can
always access the seat belts and
fasten

  them   easily,
-
 
passengers
  must   never   take  
their

  seat   without   adjusting   and  
fastening

  their   seat   belt.
-
 
a
  passenger   seated   in   row   3   must  
ensure that he does not obstruct
the row 2 seat anchorage points,
-

 
a
  passenger   seated   in   row   3   must  
not

  have   the   seat   in   front   of   them   in  
row 2 in the folded position; this is
in case the seat could tip towards
the passenger unexpectedly and
injure

  them.
Do
  not   place   hard   or   heavy   objects   on  
the

  seat   backs   forming   a   table,   they  
could

  become   dangerous   projectiles   in  
the

  event   or   sharp   braking   or   impact.

For more information about weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter  9,   "Weights"   section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
d

istribute the load in the trailer so
that
  the   heaviest   objects   are   as  
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum

  authorised   without,   however,  
exceeding

  it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature.a s the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
  engine   speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
  speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
  temperature.
Driving advice
A towed   vehicle   must   free   wheel:  gearbox
  in   neutral.

Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use  (towing   the   maximum   load   up   a  
steep

  slope   in   high   temperatures),   the  
engine

  automatically   limits   its   power.  
In this case,

the air conditioning is
automatically
  cut   off   to   save   engine  
power

.
Tyres
Check
  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  
vehicle and of the trailer

, observing the
recommended
  pressures.
Chapter
  7,   "Levels"   section.
If
  the   coolant   temperature

the vehicle and switch of

f the
engine
  as   soon   as   possible.Brakes

  increases   the   braking   distance.  Drive
  at   a   moderate   speed,   change  
down

  early   and   brake   gradually.

harnesses, which have been tested
and
  approved   from   the   design   stage   of  
your vehicle, and that you entrust the

  instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions
  a   reminder   of   which   has  
been given above, we draw your
attention

  to   the   risk   associated   with  
fitting
