Make sure that vehicle recovery/transportation is carried out by suitably qualified personnel and that the vehicle is secured correctly. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the vehicle.
The recovery agent must activate the transmission park release before recovery starts. Transmission park release information is covered in a separate publication for recovery personnel. Failure to activate the transmission park release can result in serious transmission damage.
Only use the lashing points or over-wheel lashings. Lashing over the body or suspension is not permissible as settling of the suspension will cause the lashing straps to slacken. Incorrect lashing may result in vehicle damage or personal injury.
During vehicle recovery, the smart key must remain inside the vehicle. In addition, the ignition must be switched on to make sure that the steering column is unlocked. The method for recovery or transportation of the vehicle is on a transporter or trailer designed for that purpose.
If the vehicle’s battery is to be disconnected, the steering column must be unlocked first. The steering column cannot be unlocked with the 12 V battery disconnected.
The towing point at the front of the vehicle is designed for on-road recovery only. If it is used for any other purpose it may result in vehicle damage and serious injury.
Use extreme caution when moving or towing the vehicle. Death or serious injury may occur.
Use extreme caution when detaching towing equipment. Vehicle movement is possible which can result in serious injury.
Only tow the vehicle in a forward direction with all four wheels on the ground. Towing in a reverse direction or with only two wheels on the ground will cause serious damage to the transmission.
Do not tow the vehicle for more than 30 miles (50 km). Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Towing for a greater distance or at a higher speed may result in serious damage to the transmission.
The front towing eye is located in the luggage compartment, depending on specification, as follows:
The front towing point is located behind the radiator grille 1.
To fit the towing eye:
Pass the vehicle’s wheel brace through the towing eye, to act as a lever to help tighten the towing eye until it is completely tight.
