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.
In exceptional circumstances, you 
may tow it with all four wheels on the 
ground, only in a forward gear, with the 
gear in neutral position  N, over a maxi-
mum distance of 31 miles (50 km) and 
not exceeding a speed of 15.5 mph 
(25 km/h).
If the gear lever cannot be put into the 
N position, please consult an autho-
rised dealer.1
2
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.
3
If the lever is locked in position P , 
even though you are depressing the 
brake pedal and pressing the unlock-
ing button 1 , the lever can still be re-
leased manually. To do this, unclip the 
base of the gear lever  2 starting on the 
side below the air conditioning controls. 
Then raise the button 3  and simulta-
neously press the unlock button  1 on 
the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon 
as possible.
