Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by verifying the following points:
-  t he   towball   is   correctly   locked   in   place   (position   A),
-
 
t
he   security   key   lock   is   on   and   the   key   removed;   the   locking   wheel   can   no   longer   be  
ope

rated,
-
 
t
he   towball   must   no   longer   move   at   all   in   its   carrier;   try   to   shake   it   by   hand.
During use
Never unlock the device when a trailer or load carrier is fitted to the towball.
N ever   exceed   the   maximum   authorised   weight   for   the   vehicle   plus   trailer   (Gross   Train

For
  more   information   on   adjusting   the   headlamps,   refer   to   the   corresponding   section.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load carrier, the trailer harness socket must be folded away,   the   towball   removed   and    the   blanking   plug   inserted   in   the   carrier.   This   measure  
a

pplies   particularly   if   the   towball   could   hinder   visibility   of   the   number   plate   or   lighting.

Specification of the fluid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,   the   fluid   should   never   be   topped   up   or r

eplaced   by   plain   water.
In wintry conditions, the use of a fluid
with
  an   ethyl   alcohol   or   methanol   base   is  
re

commended.

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to   the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never

xceed   it.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
When
  the   engine   is   warm,   the   temperature   of  
t

he   coolant   is   regulated   by   the   fan.
In   addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is  
p

ressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching   off   the   engine   before   carrying   out  
any   work.
To   avoid   any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap
