Towing: breakdown
TOWING: breakdown (1/2)
Insert the key into the ignition switch
to unlock the steering wheel and to
use the indicator lights (brake lights,
indicators, etc.). The towed vehicle’s
lights must be switched on at night.
Furthermore, it is essential to respect
the towing regulations set out in the leg-
islation of the country concerned and, if
your vehicle is the towing vehicle, not to
exceed the towing weight of your vehi-
cle. Contact an approved Dealer.
When the engine is stopped, steering and braking assistance are not
operational.
Only use the front and rear towing
points (never use the driveshafts).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.

Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
– 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.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad-
visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).
