Emergencies

●During towing, never switch off the igni-

tion using the start button. Otherwise, the

electronic lock of the steering column

could suddenly become blocked and it

would be impossible to steer the vehicle.

This could cause an accident, serious injury

and loss of control of the vehicle.

●If during towing the vehicle runs out of

power, stop towing immediately and re-

quest the assistance of specialist person-

nel.

WARNING

Vehicle handling and braking capacity

change considerably during towing. Please

observe the following instructions to mini-

mise the risk of serious accidents and in-

jury:

●As the driver of the vehicle being towed:

–You should depress the brake much

harder as the brake servo does not op-

erate. Pay the utmost attention to avoid

crashing into the towing vehicle.

–More strength is required at the steer-

ing wheel as the power steering does

not operate when the engine is switch-

ed off.

●As the driver of the towing vehicle:

–Accelerate with particular care and

caution.

–Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.

–Brake earlier than usual and more

smoothly.

CAUTION

●To avoid damaging the vehicle, for exam-

ple the paint, remove and replace the lid

and towing eye carefully.

●Unburnt fuel could enter the catalytic

converter and damage it during towing.

Instructions for tow-starting

Vehicle's should not generally be tow-star-

ted. The jump start should be used instead

››› page 52.

For technical reasons, towing the following

vehicles is not allowed:

●Vehicles with an automatic gearbox.

●If the vehicle battery is discharged, be-

cause in vehicles with the Keyless Access

locking and ignition system the steering re-

mains locked and the electronic parking

brake cannot be deactivated nor can the

electronic lock of the steering column be re-

leased if they are activated.

●If the battery is flat, it is possible that the

engine control units may not operate cor-

rectly.

If despite everything it is necessary to tow

start the vehicle (only if fitted with a man-

ual gearbox):

●Engage 2nd or 3rd gear.

●Keep the clutch depressed.

●Switch on the ignition and the hazard

warning lights of both vehicles.

●When both vehicles are in motion, release

the clutch.

●As soon as the engine starts, depress the

clutch and disengage the gear to avoid col-

liding with the towing vehicle.

CAUTION

●When tow-starting, unburnt fuel could

enter the catalytic converter and damage

it.

●The distance to be towed to start the en-

gine must not exceed 50 m, otherwise

there is a risk of damaging the catalytic

converter.

Note

The vehicle can only be jump-started if the

electronic parking brake and, if appropri-

ate, the electronic lock of the steering col-

umn are deactivated. If the vehicle has no

power supply or there is an electric system

fault, the engine must be jump-started to

deactivate the electronic parking brake and

the electronic lock of the steering column.
