TOWING: breakdown (1/3)
Towing procedure
The steering wheel must be unlocked

tion M (ignition on) to provide stop
lights and hazard warning lights on
the towed vehicle. Always switch on
the lights when driving at night.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is being
towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in

These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.
Front and rear towing points
Only use the front 1 and rear 2
towing points.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
– Use a rigid towing bar (except for off-road recovery). 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.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
– When towing a vehicle, it is advisable not to exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
