Choice of breakdown service

In the event of an energy fault

In the event of a fully discharged traction battery, any type of towing is permitted: towing on a flatbed truck or towing on the road using the tow eye (please see following pages).

All other cases

Only towing on a flatbed truck is permitted.

Towing on a flatbed truck

Breakdown recovery must be performed on a flat surface under all circumstances except where the vehicle is immobilised following a full discharge of the traction battery. In the event of a total energy loss, please see the following pages.

Before repairs, insert the key in the ignition to unlock the steering column. Turn the key to position M.

The regulations in force for breakdown recovery must always be observed.

In the event of an energy fault: towing

In the event of a fully discharged traction battery:

- the warning light Ṏ flashes;

- needle 1 is in the lower section of the reserve zone.

It is possible to recover on a flatbed truck or tow the vehicle using the tow eye, following the instructions below.

Before towing, insert the key in the switch to unlock the steering column. Turn the key to position M.

The column is unlocked, the accessory functions are supplied: the vehicle lights can be used (hazard warning lights, brake lights etc.). The towed vehicle’s lights must be switched on at night.

The speed specified by current legislation for towing must always be observed.

Bring lever to position N.

If the lever is stuck in P, even though you are depressing the brake pedal, the lever can be released manually.

To do this, unclip the cover at the base of the lever.

Press simultaneously on mark 2 and on the unlocking button on the lever.

When the engine is stopped, steering and braking assistance are not operational.

Access to towing points

Unclip cover 3 or 5.

Tighten the towing hitch 4 fully: first by hand until it stops then finish by locking it with the wheel brace.

Towing hitch 4 and wheelbrace are located in the tool kit in the luggage compartment (refer to the “Tool kit” information in section 5).

Only use the front and rear towing points (never use the driveshafts). These towing points may only be used for towing: never use them for lifting the vehicle directly or indirectly.

Do not remove the key from the ignition when the vehicle is being towed.

Ensure that the towing eye is bolted correctly.

Risk of losing the towed object.

Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking.

After use, check that all the tools are correctly clipped into the tool kit, then, depending on the vehicle, position it correctly in its housing.

Risk of injury.
