5.32

2WD vehicles

Vehicles fitted with an automatic

transmission or continuously va-

riable transmission.
With the ignition off, the gearbox is no

longer lubricated. If it is not, the vehi-

cle must be transported on a trailer or

be towed with the front wheels off the

ground.

When setting off, if the lever is locked

in position P even though you are

pressing the brake pedal, the lever can

be released manually. To do this, unclip

the flap 1, then insert a tool (with a hard

rod to it) into the hole and press the

button 2 at the same time in order to

unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon

as possible.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (2/4)

5.33

4WD vehicles

Whichever type of gearbox is fitted, a

4WD vehicle must never be towed if

any of its 4 wheels are touching the

ground.

A 4WD vehicle must

never be towed if one of

its 4 wheels is touching the

ground.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (3/4)

5.34

TOWING: breakdown recovery (4/4)

Only use the front towing point A

and the rear towing point 5 (never

use the driveshafts).
These towing points may only be used

for towing: never use them for lifting the

vehicle directly or indirectly.

Access to towing points

Unclip cover A by inserting a flatblade

screwdriver or similar under the cover.
Tighten the tow eye 3 fully: as much

as possible by hand at first, then finish

tightening it using the wheelbrace or,

depending on the vehicle, the lever.
Only use the towing eye 3 and the

wheelbrace 4 included in the tool kit

(please refer to the information under

“Tools” in Section 5).

When the engine is stop-

ped, steering and braking

assistance are not opera-

tional.

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 30 mph

(50 km/h).

– Do not push the vehicle if the

steering column is locked.
