additional li
ghting and signalling.

When not towing a trailer, remove thequickly-detachable tow ball beforedriving, so as to avoid masking the

Vehicle recovery
Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and put the gear selector toposition N
, then switch off the hybrid system.
If necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, it can be moved a few dozen metres at a speed not exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h).
Th
e front or rear wheels must not be on the
ground, use a flat-bed lorry or trailer to recover
the vehicle.
Use the towing eyes only to pull a vehicle out or
to pull it onto a flat-bed.

Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer.
