chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Distribution of loads
Distribute 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. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
Y
ou 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.

t
he gt W and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres.
t
he value of
the towed load mentioned must be
reduced by 10 % for each additional
1000 metres.
With load transfer, the braked trailer
weight can be increased, on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
gt
W is not exceeded. High ambient temperatures
may result in a reduction in the
performance of the vehicle in
order to protect the engine. When the
ambient temperature is higher than
37
°C, limit the towed weight.
