TOWING: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Only use the front and rear towing
points 4.
(never use the drive shafts or any other
part of the vehicle)
This towing point may only be used for
towing: never use it for lifting the vehi-
cle directly or indirectly.
Access to towing points
Unclip the cover 6 by inserting a flat-
blade screwdriver or similar under the
cover. Screw in the tow eye 5 by hand
as far as possible.
Only use the tow eye 5 located under
the passenger footwell alongside the
inflation kit; unscrew the two screws 8.

Never leave tools unse-
cured in the vehicle: there
is a risk that they may be
thrown about during brak-
ing. After use, check that the tow
eye is properly stored away in its
housing: there is a risk of injury.

– 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.
