ADVICE
Towing
at low speed over a very
short distance
is authorised in
exceptional cases depending on
the regulations in force.
Otherwise, it is necessary to
have your vehicle transported
on a recovery truck.
It is essential to check that the
electric parking brake is released.
REQUIREMENT — TOWING
WITH AUTOMATIC
GEARBOX
Place the selector on position N
(neutral).
When the engine is not
running, the steering
and the braking are no
longer assisted.
If you are towing another vehi-
cle, the latter must be free-
wheeling (gearbox in neu-
tral).
Towing with either the front or
the rear of the vehicle raised, or
in “minimum height” position,
is forbidden.
