CAR TOWING POINTS

The car has two special towing rings, one at the front and one at the rear, located on the righthand side of the bumpers.

The rear ring is concealed by a lid which is opened pressing on the edge.

NOTA: always strictly adhere to the regulations in force on the subject of towing.

Before towing, the ignition switch of the towed car should be turned to MAR and then back to STOP without removing it; this is to prevent the steering from being locked.

Bear in mind that when the car is towed, the vacuum is not created in the servobrake thus considerably more braking effort is needed on the brake pedal.

Additionally, when the engine is off, the power steering circuit is not operational, thus more effort is required on the steering wheel.

WARNING: Absolutely never remove the ignition key from the lock; this will lock the steering
