IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
116
WARNING
63) For versions with mechanical key fob,
turn the ignition key to the RUN position
and then to OFF without removing it
before towing. The steering column
will automatically lock when the key
is removed and the wheels cannot be
steered. Check that the gear lever is in
neutral (N). For versions with electronic
key fob, turn the ignition device to the
RUN position and then to OFF, without
opening the door.
64) The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will
not work while being towed. You will
therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do
not use flexible ropes when towing, and
avoid jerky movements. During towing,
make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.
When towing the car, you must comply
with all specific traffic regulations and
adopt an appropriate driving behavior.
Do not start the engine while towing the
car. Before tightening the ring, clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the ring is fully screwed in before
towing the vehicle.
65) The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the
road. You are allowed to tow the vehicle
for short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the rules of
the road (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle
on the road in readiness for towing or
transport via a breakdown vehicle. The
tow hooks MUST NOT be used to tow the
vehicle off the road or where there are
obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
In compliance with the above conditions,
towing must take place with the two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible along the
same center line.
