178 - Practical advice
Tighten the towing eye 3 to the
maximum: first by hand until it stops,
then finish by locking it using the
wheelbrace.
Only use the towing eye 3 (refer to the
information on "Tools" in Section 5).
Ensure that the towing
eye is bolted correctly.
Risk of losing the
towed object.
Do not leave the tools
unsecured inside the
vehicle as they may be
projected during braking.
– Use a rigid tow bar.
– 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.
– In any case, it is advisable not
to exceed 16 mph (25 km/h).
Battery: breakdown recovery
To avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that the "energy
consumers" (ceiling lights, etc.) are
switched off before disconnecting or
reconnecting a battery.
– When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting the
battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the
battery as this could create a short
circuit between the terminals.
– Always wait at least one minute after
the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery.
– Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
Before carrying out any
work under the bonnet,
the ignition must be
switched off (please see
"Starting, stopping the engine" in
Section 2).
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be
compatible with a battery with
nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery while the
engine is running. Follow the
instructions given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.
Special procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Contact
your approved dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may
cause an immediate explosion,
and charge the battery in a well
ventilated area.
Risk of serious injury.
