ACCESSORIES
Electrical and electronic accessories
Before installing this type of accessory (particularly for transmitters\
/receivers: frequency bandwidth, power level, po-
sition of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehic\
le. You can get advice from an authorised dealer.
Connect accessories with a maximum power of 120 Watts only. Fire hazard. When several accessory sockets are
used at the same time, the total power of the connected accessories must\
not exceed 180 watts.
No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except by authorised dealers: an incorre\
ctly connecte d
system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipment and\
/or the components connected to it.
If the vehicle is fitted with any aftermarket electrical equipment, make\
sure that the installation is correctly protected by a fuse.
Establish the rating and position of this fuse.
Using the diagnostic socket
The use of electronic accessories on the diagnostic socket may cause ser\
ious disturbance to the vehicle’s electronic systems.
For your safety we recommend that you use only electronic accessories ap\
proved by the manufacturer, consult an Approved
Dealer. Serious accident risk.
Use of transmitting/receiving devices (telephones, CB equipment etc.).\
Telephones and CB equipment with integrated aerials may cause interferenc\
e to the electronic systems originally fitted to the
vehicle: it is advisable only to use equipment with an external aerial. \
Furthermore, we remind you of the need to conform
to the legislation in force concerning the use of such equipment.
Fitting aftermarket accessories
If you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: please contact an aut\
horised dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation o f
your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for y\
our
vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will \
provide a warranty.
If you are using an anti-theft device, only attach it to the brake pedal\
.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fi\
tted components, and check the fitting re gu-
larly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to provide
brake lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is
being towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer.
Never use the drive shafts or axles.
These towing points may only be used
for traction: never use them for lifting
the vehicle directly or indirectly.– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Do not accelerate or brake sud- denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, do not exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition switch or the
card from the reader during
towing.

Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or\
when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on t he
identification plate.
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local leg\
islation in each country and, in particular, laid down in the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is
permitted:
– rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
– maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reach\
ed first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not ex\
ceed 48 mph (80 kph), depending on local legislation, and the tyre pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 m\
etres thereafter.
