sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).

blades.
They should be replaced as soon
as they become less efficient: ap-
proximately once a year.
When changing the blade, when it
has been removed, do not let the
wiper arm fall against the window:

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.
In exceptional circumstances, you
may tow it with all four wheels on the
ground, only in a forward gear, with the
gear in neutral position N, over a maxi-
mum distance of 31 miles (50 km) and
not exceeding a speed of 15.5 mph
(25 km/h).
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.
