TOWING: breakdown
Insert the card fully into the card
reader to unlock the steering wheel
and to be able to use the signal
lights (brake lights, indicators, etc.).
The towed vehicle’s lights must be
switched on at night.
The speed specified by current legis-
lation for towing must always be ob-
served. If your vehicle is the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
towing weight for your vehicle (refer
to the information on “Weights” in
Section 6).
Only use the front 1 and rear 4 towing
points (never use the driveshafts or any
other part of the vehicle). These towing
points may only be used for towing:
never use them for lifting the vehicle di-
rectly or indirectly.
Access to towing points
Unclip cover 2 or 5.
Use the towing hitch from the tool kit
(refer to the information on the “Tool kit”
in Section 5).
Tighten towing hitch 3 fully: first by
hand as far as it will go, then finish tight-
ening it using the wheelbrace from the
tool kit.
Towing hitch 3 is located in the tool kit
(refer to information on the “Tool kit” in
Section 5).
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.

Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
