Important notes
|
When towing the vehicle, it is compulsory to respect specific highway code regulations relating to the tow hook and procedures for towing on the road. Before towing, make sure that the tow hook is fully tightened. Clean the threaded seat carefully before tightening the hook. Turn the key to the MAR position and then to STOP and DO NOT EXTRACT IT! If the key is removed, the steering lock will come on automatically and it will be impossible to steer the wheels. When towing, exercise greater force on the brake pedal and the steering wheel which are stiffer because the brake servo and the power steering system are not operational. The towing vehicle should be driven at as even a pace as possible to prevent kickbacks. Do not use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid jerky movements. During towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not damage any components it is touching. Do not start the engine while towing the car. |
