Recovery of the vehicle on a fl at-bed
Never recover the vehicle by towing it with two or four wheels on the ground, as there is a risk of
damage to the transmission.
However, if necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, the vehicle can be moved a few
dozen metres, at a speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h).
Use the towing eye only to pull the vehicle out
or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or
trailer.
Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector at
position
N , then switch off the Hybrid4 system ( READY lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.
Snow chains
Recommendations
The use of snow chains is only authorised on
the front wheels.
The mode selector must be in the
4WD position.
For information on the sizes
compatible with the tyres on your
vehicle and advice on use, refer to the
corresponding section in the handbook
