PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Your vehicle can only be towed at
the front. Lifting (2 wheels only on the
road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle by
the wheels.
Never use the radiator crossmember.
When your vehicle is be-
ing towed with the engine
switched off, there is no brak-
ing or steering assistance.
Without lifting (4 wheels on
the road)
You should always use a towing bar.
The removable towing eye is stored
in the spare wheel, under the boot
carpet.
Unclip the bottom of the cover,
Screw in the towing eye until it
locks.
Place the gear lever in posi-
tion N for the "SensoDrive"
gearbox.

islation in order to comply
with the regulations concern-
ing the transportation of ob-
jects which are longer than

Towing with fours wheels on the road
must be carried out at very low speed
over a very short distance (in accord-
ance with the legislation in force).
In all other cases, your vehicle must
be transported on a trailer.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (diesel version)
I n t h e c a s e o f v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position.
Failure to observe this special con-
dition may result in damage to cer-
tain braking components and the ab-
sence of braking assistance the next
time the engine is started.
Maximum weight authorised on
the bars, for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle
carrier): 50 kg.
