TOW EYES

A cover on the front bumper gives access to a threaded stud onto which a tow eye is screwed. The tow eye is supplied with the on-board tool kit, stored behind a flap on the left of the rear left seat back. For towing from the rear, a tie-down point is located under the rear right section of the vehicle.

TOWING CONDITIONS

This operation may only be carried out over a short distance and always as an emergency measure.

The tow eye must only be used to secure the vehicle or to tow it over a short distance using a rigid bar, with all 4 wheels on the ground.

Do not use the towing points to pull the vehicle out of a ditch or to lift the vehicle directly or indirectly.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SPECIAL FEATURES

When towing with all four wheels on the ground, the following rules must be observed:

  • selector lever in position 'N',
  • tow the vehicle at a speed below 50 km/h over a maximum distance of 50 km.
