TOWING: breakdown
(1/3)
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is
being towed.
Never use the drive shafts or axles.
These towing points may only be used
for traction: never use them for lifting
the vehicle directly or indirectly.
The speed specified by current legis-
lation for towing must always be ob-
served. If you are driving the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the permissible
towing weight for your vehicle
➥
6.10.
Before towing, put the gearbox in neu-
tral, unlock the steering column and re-
lease the parking brake.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic
gearbox, if it is not possible to put the
gear lever into position N , please con-
sult an authorised dealer.
Steering column unlocking
Insert the key into the ignition or, de-
pending on the vehicle, with the card
on you, press the engine start button
for approximately two seconds .
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox).
The steering column unlocks, the ac-
cessory functions are powered: you
can use the vehicle’s lights (direction
indicators, brake lights, etc.). At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Depending on the vehicle, once you
have finished towing, press the engine
start button twice (risk of running down
the battery).
– Use a rigid tow bar. If a
rope or cable is used (where
the law allows this), the ve-
hicle being towed must be
able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Do not accelerate or brake sud-
denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, do not
exceed
15 mph (25 km/h)
.
– Do not push the vehicle if the
steering column is locked.
When the engine is stopped,
steering and braking assist-
ance are not operational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition switch or the
card from the reader during
towing.
