Towing with all wheels on the ground
Towing ring fi xings are placed at the front and at the rear of the vehicle.
To access them:
- at the front : push at top left, then pull on right.
- at the rear : push at bottom, then pull on top.
The cover remains attached to the bumper by means of a tab, so that it
cannot become lost.
The ignition key should be in position “M” so as to retain steering.
Use a bar with hooks to attach on the towing rings.
If the engine is not running, the steering and braking systems will not be power-assisted.
If towing another vehicle, the latter should be free-wheeling (that is, gearbox in neutral). Failing to respect
this point may damage some braking components and lead to the failure of the braking assistance func-
tion when the engine is next started.
Removable towing ring
The towing ring is detachable and
can be fi tted either at the front or at
the rear of the vehicle. It is stowed
with the tools either in the storage
fl ap under the second-row footwell
or (according to equipment) in the
boot well.

must be transported by a trans-
porter.
CAUTION - TOWING A

tion N
