TOWING – LIFTING
Movable towing eye
The towing ring is detachable and
can be fitted either at the front or at
the rear of the vehicle. It is stowed
in the toolkit which is to be found
either under one of the front seats
or in the repair aerosol kit located
in the boot.
Towing with wheels on the ground
Towing eye fixings are located at the front and at the rear of the vehicle.
To access them:
Carefully lift the access cover.
Release it by pressing on the lower part.
ADVICE
A lug keeps the cover attached to the bumper, so that it does not become
lost.
The ignition key must be in position M to retain steering.
Towing at low speed over a very
short distance is authorised in
exceptional cases depending on
the regulations in force.
Otherwise, it is necessary to
have your vehicle transported
on a recovery truck.
Use a bar with attachments to the towing eyes as above.
Vehicles with manual gearbox (diesel models)
For vehicles with a manual gearbox, the gear lever must be in "neutral",
otherwise some components in the braking system could become damaged
and impair braking assistance the next time the engine is started.

TOWING REQUIREMENTS
Place the selector on position N
(neutral).
When the engine is not running, the steering and the braking
are no longer assisted.
If you are towing another vehicle, the latter must be free-
wheeling (gearbox in neutral).
