In all other cases, your vehicle must
be transported on a trailer.

manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position.
Failure to observe this special condi-

braking components and the ab-
sence of braking assistance the next
time the engine is started.

the bars, for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle
carrier): 50 kg.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the pro-
fi le of the road to avoid damaging
the roof bars.
