Towing procedureThe steering wheel must be un -
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to pro -
vide stop lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. Always
switch on the lights when driving at
night. Remove any trailer.
It is also essential to observe the towing
regulations imposed by current legisla -
tion in each country, and not to exceed
the towable weight for your vehicle.
Consult an approved dealer.
Only use:– at the front, towing hitch 1 (from
the luggage compartment) and
towing point 3.
– At the rear, towing point 4.
These towing points may only be used
for pulling the vehicle, never for lifting it
either directly or indirectly.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi -
cle is being towed.
– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad -
visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the front wheels
off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going for -
ward, with the gear lever in the N posi-
tion, and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.
P r e s s s i m u l t a n e o u s l y o n t h e
button 5 on the gaiter and unlocking
button 6 located on the lever 7.
When storing the tools,
ensure they are securely re-
placed in the luggage com-
partment, in their original
position.
Do not leave the tools unsecured
inside the vehicle as they may come
loose under braking.

Weights/Towing weights
WEIGHTS (in kg)
The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle’s equipment.
Consult your approved Dealer.
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMTA)
Total train weight (MTR) Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked Trailer Weight* obtained by calculating: MTR - MMAC
Unbraked Trailer Weight* 525
Permissible nose weight* 60
Maximum permissible load on roof 80 kg (including carrying device)
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the calculation MTR (Total train weight) - MMAC (Maximum permissible all-up weight) is zero\
.
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is
permitted:
– the Maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more than 15%,
– the maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occu\
rs first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure must
be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by
10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,0\
00 metres thereafter.
Weight transfer (except utility version)
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 300 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer,
within the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
