7. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

Attendance on the spot in case of breakdown will be organised. Roadside repair will be attempted in all cases except where this would go against local regulations (e.g. some highways). Service will be given on roads open to public traffic and at home. Additionally service will be provided off-road for “all-terrain/off-road” models where access is possible and is permissible by law. Service will also be given in following cases: failure of seat belts, broken windscreen wipers, malfunction of legally required external lights. This benefit will not include salvage operations.

After breakdown of the vehicle, where roadside repair is not possible, professional towage of the vehicle with or without trailer to the nearest Authorised Repairer location will be provided. If the breakdown occurs more than 200 kilometres away from the nearest Authorised Repairer location, or, if the nearest Authorised Repairer location is not reachable, the vehicle will be towed to the nearest repair facility authorised by Roadside Assistance. When the breakdown occurs in the town where the vehicle was originally sold, the vehicle should, at the beneficiary's discretion, be towed to the selling outlet for repair.
