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). 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 ( RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY lamp off). RE ADY Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.
Use the towing eye only to pull the vehicle out or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or t r a i l e r.
The towing eye is stowed in the storage well behind the rear seats. Fold the 2/3 part of the rear seat for access to it. Raise the cover of the storage well.
