Traffic and road conditions
Rather high fuel consumption is caused by heavy
traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue with
frequent use of low gears or in large towns with
many traffic lights. Winding mountain roads and
rough road surfaces also adversely affect
consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. level crossings) the
engine should be switched off.

IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted
with a type-approved tow hook and an adequate
electrical system. Installation must be carried out by
a specialist.
Fit any specific and/or additional rear view mirrors as
specified by the Highway Code.

harder to climb, braking distances increase and
overtaking takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trail.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than
constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car's tow hook will
reduce the load capacity of the car by the same
amount. To make sure that the maximum towable
weight is not exceeded (given in the car registration
document) account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and luggage.
Respect the speed limits specific to each country for
vehicles towing trailers. In any case, the maximum
speed must not exceed 100 km/h.
An electric brake or winch must be powered directly
