DANGER

When the vehicle needs to be towed, switch the ignition on.

If the steering lock is fitted, for towing turn the ignition switch to the accessories position.

If the engine is not running, the brake servo and power steering do not work. Press the brake pedal harder, and bear in mind that stopping distances increase and steering becomes heavier.

If the tension applied to the tow rope is excessive, the towing vehicle or the towed vehicle may be damaged.

Do not use rigid tow bars on the front towing eye.

When towing the vehicle, the transmission must be set to neutral.

Start slowly and progressively, avoiding jerks to the towed vehicle.
