Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest  items  are  as  close  as Â
p
ossible  to  the  axle  and  the  nose  weight Â
a
pproaches  the  maximum  permitted Â
w
ithout  exceeding  it.
ai
r density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
 engine  per formance.  Above Â
1Â 0
00 metres,  the  maximum  towed  load  must Â
b
e  reduced  by  10 %  for  every  1 000  metres  of Â
al
titude.
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 Â
c
apacity  is  not  dependent  on  the  engine  speed.
F
Â
T
o  lower  the  engine  speed,  reduce  your Â
s
peed.
The
 maximum  towed  load  on  a  long  incline Â
d
epends  on  the  gradient  and  the  ambient Â
t
emperature.
In
 all  cases,  keep  a  check  on  the  coolant Â
t
emperature. F
Â
I
f  the  warning  lamp  and  the Â
S
TOP
Â
warning  lamp  come  on, Â
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
 engine  as  soon  as  possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o  avoid  overheating  of  the  brakes  on  a  long Â
m
ountain  type  of  descent,  the  use  of  engine Â
b
raking  is  recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check  the  tyre  pressures  of  the  towing  v
ehicle  and  of  the  trailer,  observing  the Â
re
commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the  electrical  lighting  and  signalling  o
n  the  trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of
Â
the
Â
weights
Â
and
Â
towed
Â
loads
Â
which
Â
apply
Â
to
Â
y
our
Â
vehicle.
When
Â
not
Â
towing
Â
a
Â
trailer,
Â
remove
Â
the
Â
q
uickly-detachable
Â
tow
Â
ball
Â
before

Please
 refer  to  national  legislation  so  as Â
t

Recommendations
F Distribute the  load  evenly,  avoiding  ov
erloading  on  one  side.
F
Â
A
