160 - Practical advice
The steering wheel must be unlocked
and the ignition key must be in ignition
ON condition to provide brake lights
and hazard warning lights on the
towed vehicle. At night the vehicle
must have its lights on.
Front towing point.
Remove the tow hook cover
1
to ac-
cess the tow hook
.
This towing point
must only be used for towing : never
use it for lifting the vehicle directly or
indirectly.
Before towing, unlock the steering col-
umn. Press clutch and shift the gear
lever to 1st gear (N/R in automatic
transmission vehicle). Insert the
hands free card into the card reader,
press and hold the engine start but
ton for 2 seconds. Shift the gear
lever to
N
(position N in automatic
transmission vehicle). The steering col-
umn gets unlocked and accessory
mode gets ON to have the brake lights
and hazard warning lights ON in the
towed vehicle.
Do not remove the hands-
free card from the drive
while towing.
Ensure the towing hook
should be fitted completely
until the end of thread.
Always pull straight ahead
when using tow hooks. It is
prohibited to pull the vehi-
cle from sides or at a vertical an-
gle.
Do not remove the key
from the ignition when
the vehicle is being
towed.
When the engine is stopped,
steering and braking assistance
are not operational.
– Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as they
may come loose under braking ;
– A vehicle must not be towed if it
is not fit to be driven ;
– 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.
Do not leave the tools
unsecured inside the ve-
hicle as they may come
loose under braking.
