TOWING: breakdown (1/3)
Before any towing, put the gears into
neutral (neutral position for vehicles
equipped with a manual gearbox or N
position for vehicles equipped with an
automatic gearbox).
Unlock the steering column; the igni-
tion key must be in “M” position (ig-
nition) to enable signalling (“Stop”
lights, hazard warning lights, etc.).
Always switch on the lights when
driving at night.
Release the parking brake.
It is also essential to observe the towing
regulations imposed by current legisla-
tion in your country. Please contact an
authorised dealer.
Front and rear towing pointsOnly use the front 1 and rear 2
towing points.
Depending on the vehicle, unclip the
cover 3 by inserting a flat tool under the
cover.
When the engine is stop-
ped, steering and braking
assistance are not opera-
tional.
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 advisable not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
When the engine is switched off, the
gearbox is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle
on a trailer or, for 4x2 (2WD) vehicles
only, tow it with the rear wheels off the
ground.
Under exceptional circumstances
and for 4x2 (2WD), vehicles only, you
may tow the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, only going forward, with
the gear lever in neutral position N and
for a distance not exceeding 30 miles
(50 km).
If the gear lever cannot be put into the
N position, please consult an authori-
sed dealer.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are pres-
sing the brake pedal, the lever can be
released manually.
To do this, unclip the base of the lever,
simultaneously press recess 4 and the
unlocking button 5.Depending on the vehicle, unclip the
base of the lever, then insert a tool
(rigid rod) into the slot 6 and simulta-
neously press the button 7 in order to
unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.
