TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
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 rear wheels off
the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances, you
may tow the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, only going forward, with
the gear lever in the neutral N position,
and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
If the gear lever cannot be put into the
N position, please consult an autho-
rised dealer.1
2
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.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.

If the lever is locked in position P ,
even though you are depressing the
brake pedal and pressing the unlock-
ing button 1 , the lever can still be re-
leased manually. To do this, unclip the
base of the gear lever 2 starting on the
side below the air conditioning controls.
Then raise the button 3 and simulta-
neously press the unlock button 1 on
the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Only use the front and rear towing
points 4.
(never use the drive shafts or any other
part of the vehicle)
This towing point may only be used for
towing: never use it for lifting the vehi-
cle directly or indirectly.Access to towing points
Unclip the cover 6 by inserting a flat-
blade screwdriver or similar under the
cover. Screw in the tow eye 5 by hand
as far as possible.
Only use the tow eye 5 located under
the passenger footwell alongside the
inflation kit; unscrew the two screws 8.

Never leave tools unse-
cured in the vehicle: there
is a risk that they may be
thrown about during brak-
ing. After use, check that the tow
eye is properly stored away in its
housing: there is a risk of injury.

– 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 30 mph
(50 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.

The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator and the warn-

® come on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
contact an approved Dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the coolant reservoir: it should con- tain fluid. If there is no coolant, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possible.
OPERATING FAULTS (4/6)
Radiator: If there is a lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up \
using cold coolant while the engine is
very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial drain\
ing of the cooling system, it must
be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Remi\
nder: only products approved by our Technical
