Towing

Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using the towing eye.

General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.

Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.

The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving licence.

When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towbar; ropes and straps are prohibited.

The towing vehicle must move oﬀ gently.

When the vehicle is towed with its engine oﬀ, there is no longer braking and steering assistance.

A professional recovery service must be called if:

– broken down on a motorway or main road;

– not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake;

– not possible to tow a vehicle with an automatic gearbox, with the engine running;

– towing with only two wheels on the ground;

– four-wheel drive vehicle;

– no approved towbar available.
