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 ignition key must be in “M” position (ignition) to enable signalling (“Stop” lights, hazard warning lights, etc.). Always switch on the lights when driving at night.

Release the parking brake.

To avoid all risk of sparks:

- Ensure that any electrical consumers (courtesy lights, etc.) are switched off before disconnecting or reconnecting the battery.

- When charging, stop the charger before connecting or disconnecting the battery.

- Do not place metal objects on the battery to avoid creating a short circuit between the terminals.
