TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle on
a trailer or tow it with the rear wheels off
the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances, you
may tow the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, only going forward, with
the gear lever in the neutral N position,
and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
If the gear lever cannot be put into the
N position, please consult an autho-
rised dealer.
If the lever is locked in posi-
tion P, even though you are
depressing the brake pedal
and pressing the unlocking
button 1, the lever can still be re-
leased manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the gear lever 2 start-
ing on the side below the air con-
ditioning controls. Then raise the
button 3 and simultaneously press
the unlock button 1 on the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as
soon as possible.

Before any towing, put the gears into
neutral (neutral position for vehicles
equipped with a manual gearbox or N
position for vehicles equipped with an
automatic gearbox).
Unlock the steering column; the igni-
tion key must be in “ M” position (ig-
nition) to enable signalling (“Stop”
lights, hazard warning lights, etc.).
Always switch on the lights when
driving at night.
Release the parking brake.
It is also essential to observe the towing
regulations imposed by current legisla-
tion in your country. Please contact an
authorised dealer.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
