Recovery of the vehicle on a fl at-bed
Never recover the vehicle by towing it with two or four wheels on the ground, as there is a risk of
damage to the transmission.
However, if necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, the vehicle can be moved a few
dozen metres, at a speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
Use the towing eye only
to pull the vehicle out
or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or
trailer.
Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector at
position N
, then switch off the Hybrid4 system ( READY
lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.
Snow chains
Recommendations
The use of snow chains is only authorised on
the front wheels.
The mode selector must be in the
4WD
position.
For information on the sizes
compatible with the tyres on your
vehicle and advice on use, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
for the vehicle.

Weights and towed loads (in kg)
*
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).
**
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
To make use of the 300 kg load transfer, the driver must be alone in the vehicle with no luggage in the vehicle.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
