aged. In addition, the rear spoiler could be

detached.

NOTICE

Removing and attaching the cover and the

towing eye may cause damage to the vehicle,

for example, on the paintwork.

●To avoid damaging the vehicle, remove and

replace the cover and the towing eye care-

fully.

NOTICE

Using a towing eye that is not suitable for the

vehicle can damage it.

●When towing, always use the vehicle’s tow-

ing eye, which forms part of the on-board

tools, or an appropriate eye for towing.

Instructions for tow-starting and

towing

During towing, the change of direction can be

signalled on the towed vehicle even when the

hazard warning lights are on. To do so, at the

same time, the turn signal lever must be op-

erated with ignition switched on. During this

time the hazard warning lights remain discon-

nected. When the turn signal lever is returned

to the rest position, the hazard warning lights

will be automatically reactivated.

Cases where tow starting and towing the ve-

hicle are not permitted

Do not allow the vehicle to be towed in the

following situations:

●The vehicle’s gearbox is damaged or has no

lubricant.

●The 12-volt battery is discharged. In vehicles

with the “Keyless Access” locking and ignition

system the steering remains locked and the

parking brake cannot be deactivated and the

steering column lock cannot be released if

they are connected.

●If a distance above 50 km needs to be travel-

led.

●There is no guarantee that the wheels will

turn smoothly or that the steering will work af-

ter an accident.

If the vehicle cannot be towed on its wheels for

any of the reasons mentioned above, request

assistance from specialised personnel and, if

necessary, have the vehicle transported with-

out the wheels touching the ground.
