\3 Towing
Comply with legal regulations when tow-
ing.Having the vehicle carried away on a
transporter or trailer is preferable to
towing it away. We recommend the use
of a rigid towing bar if towing is neces-
sary.
The fixture for the front towing eye is lo-
cated behind the cover in the bumper on
the right-hand side when viewed in the
direction of travel.
Warning
G
Tow the vehicle using a rigid towing bar if:the engine is not running,there is a malfunction in the power supply
or the vehicle’s electrical system.There is no power assistance for the
steering and braking when the engine is
not running. You must then use signifi-
cantly greater force to steer the vehicle
and brake.

Warning (Continued)
G
Do not tow the vehicle if the key cannot
be turned in the ignition lock. The steering
is then locked and it will not be possible
to steer the vehicle.When towing another vehicle, its weight
should not be greater than the permissi-
ble gross weight of your vehicle.
