Practical information
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with a dealer, whether your vehicle is
suitable for the fuel pumps in the country
in which you intend to travel.
Towing device
Distribution of loads
F
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
load which can be towed must be reduced by
10% per 1,000
metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine
wiring harnesses approved by the
Manufacturer. It is recommended that
the fitting be performed by a
dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a
dealer, it must still be fitted
in accordance with the Manufacturer's
instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically deactivated if
an approved towing system is used.
Observe the maximum authorised
towable weight, indicated on the vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country on the use of snow chains and the
maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Original tyre size Chain type
215/65
R16
Polaire XP9 with
manual locking
215/60 R17
Cannot be fitted with chains
215/55 R18
Cannot be fitted with chains
For more information on snow chains, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop.
