Maintenance
Keep the system clean. Periodically
lubricate the lock with graphite.
Remove the towball arm
and protect the seat with
the plug before steam cleaning
your vehicle.
Keep a note of the key number.
ROOF RACK
Driving with a roof load can
have a negative influence on
the driveability of the vehicle.
When driving with a roof
load, the ESP system (if
equipped) must always be
switched on.
If the vehicle is used with a
roof load, or is fully laden,
the tyres must be set to standard
tyre pressure setting.
