TACHOGRAPH
For tachograph operation and use,
consult the owner handbook supplied
by the device manufacturer. The
tachograph must be installed on the
vehicle when the vehicle weight (with or
without trailer) exceeds 3.5 tons.
IMPORTANT Anyone making changes
to the monitoring device or signal
transmission system that affects
recording by the monitoring instrument,
particularly if this is done for purposes
of fraud, may be in breach of criminal or
administrative state regulations.
IMPORTANT If a tachograph is fitted, if
the vehicle is parked for more than 5
days, it is advisable to disconnect
the negative battery terminal to
maintain its charge.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not use abrasive detergents or
solvents to clean the device. To clean
the outside of the device, use a damp
cloth or special products for the care of
synthetic materials.The tachograph is installed and sealed
by authorised personnel: do not try
and access the device or the supply
and recording leads in any way. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the vehicle
on which the tachograph is installed to
check the device regularly.
The check must be carried out at least
every two years and a test must be
carried out to ensure that it is working
properly. Ensure that the data label
is renewed after every check and that
the label contains the specified data.
SELF-LEVELLING AIR
SUSPENSION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The system only acts on the rear
wheels.
The system maintains the rear ride
setting for the vehicle constant in any
loading condition, while ensuring a
greater driving comfort.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
There are 7 pre-defined levels for the
free height from the ground: from “ride
-3” to “ride 0” till “ride +3”.
Automatic adjustment
When moving, the system automatically
shows that the vehicle is in 'ride setting
0' and keeps it constant.
While adjusting, the LED located on the
button (A or B fig. 74) corresponding
to the direction of travel, flashes.
Manual adjustment
5)
With the vehicle stationary and the
engine on or off, the desired height level
can be set.
45
Page 48 of 296

Pressing button A, for less than 1
second, selects the next level
up. Keeping button A pressed for more
than 1 second directly selects the
maximum level: "ride setting +3".
Pressing button B, for less than 1
second, selects the next level down.
Keeping button B pressed, for more
than 1 second, selects the minimum
level directly: "ride setting -3".
During the adjustment the LED located
on the button (A or B) corresponding
to the direction of travel, flashes.
If, after selecting a button, the LED
remains lit up (for about 5 seconds)
rather than flashing, this means that the
adjustment is temporarily unavailable.
Possible causes may be as follows:
insufficient air reserve: the function is
restored by starting the engine;
the system has reached a threshold
working temperature: wait a few
minutes to let it cool down before
operating the buttons again.
The level selected with the vehicle
stationary is maintained up to a speed
of about 20 km/h; when this speed
is exceeded, the system will
automatically restore the normal level:
"ride setting 0".
WARNING
5)Before manually adjusting with doors
open, make sure there is enough space
around the vehicle for this kind of
operation.
