WARNINGS
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h).
The rear tyre pressures must beincreased by 3 psi (0.2 bar) abovespecification. See TechnicalSpecifications (page 164).
Do not exceed the maximum grosstrain weight stated on your vehicleidentification plate. See VehicleIdentification Plate (page 167).
Do not exceed the maximumpermissible nose weight, i.e. verticalweight on the tow ball, of 110 pounds(50 kilogrammes).
The electrical system is not suitablefor towing trailers with more thanone rear fog lamp.
Note:Not all vehicles are suitable orapproved to have tow bars fitted. Checkwith your dealer first.
Place loads as low and central to theaxle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you aretowing with an unladen vehicle, the loadin the trailer should be placed toward thenose, within the maximum nose load, asthis gives the best stability.
The stability of your vehicle to trailercombination is very much dependant onthe quality of the trailer.
In high altitude regions above 3 281 feet (1000 metres), the stipulated maximumpermitted gross train weight must bereduced by 10% for every additional 3 281feet (1 000 metres).
Steep Gradients
WARNING
The anti-lock braking system doesnot control the overrun brake on thetrailer.
Change down a gear before you reach asteep downhill gradient.
TOW BALL
WARNINGS
When not in use, always transportthe tow ball arm securely fastenedin the luggage compartment.
Take special care when fitting thetow ball arm as the safety of yourvehicle and the trailer depends onthis.

150Maintenance

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GENERAL INFORMATION
A decal with tyre pressure data is locatedin the driver’s door opening.
Check and set the tyre pressure at theambient temperature in which you areintending to drive your vehicle and whenthe tyres are cold.
Note:Check your tyre pressures regularlyto optimise fuel economy.
Note:Use only approved wheel and tyresizes. Using other sizes could damage yourvehicle and will make the National TypeApproval invalid.
Note:If you change the diameter of thetyres from that fitted at the factory, thespeedometer may not display the correctspeed. Take your vehicle to an authoriseddealer to have the engine managementsystem reprogrammed.

The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General Information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent oftyre damage, some tyres can only bepartially sealed or not sealed at all.Loss of tyre pressure can affect vehiclehandling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the kit on a previouslydamaged tyre, for example when ithas been driven under inflated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the kit on run flat tyre.
Do not try to seal damage other thanthat located within the visible treadof the tyre.

TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a lowtyre pressure warning. It will notinflate the tyres.
Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tyres. This may causethe tyres to overheat and fail.Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tyretread life and may also affect your abilityto drive your vehicle safely.
Do not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by an authoriseddealer.
The deflation detection system will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tyre. It does this by using the anti-lockbraking sensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowtyre pressure. A warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthe message indicator will illuminate. SeeInformation Messages (page 62).
If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tyre pressures as soon as possible andinflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technical Specifications(page 164).
If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.
