GENERAL
GENERAL SPECIFICATION: TOWING THE VEHICLE
Vehicle with automatic gearbox.
IMPERATIVE: Never tow the vehicle with the wheels hanging (towing by the wheels).
Towing:
- It is necessary to raise the front of the vehicle, in order to tow it.
- If it is not possible to raise the front of the vehicle.
- It is essential to place the selection lever in position "N".
- Do not add any oil.
- Do not exceed a speed of 70 km/h(45 mph)on a journey of 100 Km (60 miles).
- Never tow the vehicle backwards.
- Check that the parking brake is released.
Driving:
- Never drive with the ignition switched off.
NOTE: The automatic gearbox is only lubricated when the engine is running.
Never push the vehicle to attempt to start it (impossible with an automatic gearbox).

GENERAL
LIFTING AND SUPPORTING THE VEHICLE
Raising the vehicle on a lift, supported from the jacking points.
Equipment involved:
- Two-column lift.
- Auxiliary lift with blocks.
IMPERATIVE: Position the safety straps, if placing the vehicle on a lift supported from the jacking points
(risk of the vehicle overbalancing when a heavy component is removed).
Tooling required.
[1] Safety straps
Using the safety straps.
WARNING: Check the condition of the safety straps before using them, do not use worn safety straps.
WARNING: Do not use straps that show any signs of oil or grease (risk of soiling the carpets and/or
seats).
Place protections on the front seats and on the fragile parts of the vehicle.
Example:
- Two-column lift.
- Place the safety straps[1] under the arm of the lift and criss-crossing the vehicle.

Oil capacities are defined according to the following methods
16
GENERAL
CAPACITIES (in litres)
Draining of the engine lubrication system by GRAVITY
Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension).
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C).
Drain the sump by gravity.
Remove the oil filter cartridge (time for draining and drip-drip = 15
minutesapprox.).
Refit the cap with a new seal.
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
Refill the engine with oil (see table for oil capacity).
Start the engine to fill the oil filter cartridge.
Stop the engine (allow to stabilise for 5 minutes).Draining of the engine lubrication system by SUCTION
Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension).
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C).
Remove the oil by suction through the dipstick tube.
Remove the oil filter cartridge.
Maintain the suction of oil in the sump (15 minutesapprox.).
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
Refill the engine with oil (see table for oil capacity).
Start the engine to fill the oil filter cartridge.
Stop the engine (allow to stabilise for 5 minutes).
WARNING: Remove the suction container before starting the engine.
ESSENTIAL: Systematically check the oil level using the oil dipstick.
