WARNING
161)
For versions with mechanical key,
before towing, turn the ignition key to MAR
and then to STOP without removing it.
The steering column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the wheels
cannot be steered. Also check that the
gearbox is in neutral (on versions equipped
with automatic transmission, check that
the gear lever is in N position). For versions
with electronic key, bring the ignition
device to MAR and then to STOP, without
opening the door.
162)
The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is 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. While towing,
make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.
When towing the vehicle, you must comply
with all specific traffic regulations and
adopt an appropriate driving behaviour. Do
not start the engine while towing the
vehicle. Before tightening the ring, clean
the threaded housing thoroughly. Make
sure that the ring is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the vehicle.
