When towing the vehicle, you must comply with the specific traffic regulations

When towing the vehicle, you must comply with the specific traffic regulations regarding the tow hitch and how to tow on the road.

Before starting to tow, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP.

Do not remove the key. If the key is removed, the steering lock engages automatically which prevents the wheels being turned.

While the vehicle is being towed with the engine off, remember that the brake pedal and steering will require more effort as you no longer have the benefit of the power brakes and power steering.

Do not use flexible cables to tow. Avoid jerking. Whilst towing, ensure that the coupling to the vehicle does not damage the surrounding components.
