CAR TOW POINTS

The car has two rings, one at the front and one at the rear, on the right-hand side of the bumpers.

The rear ring is covered by a lid that is opened by pushing on the edge.

Always strictly adhere to local regulations on the subject of towing.

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

Remember that when the car is towed, the vacuum is not created in the servobrake system, therefore, considerably greater pressure on the brake pedal is required.

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.

DESCRIPTION OF BODY

The body has been specifically studied to crumple in a controlled fashion during a collision whether from the front or from the side, absorbing the energy produced by the impact without compromising the spaces within the passenger compartment which are vital to the survival of its occupants.

To protect the passengers the floor, door sill rails, doors and front and central uprights have been reinforced in order to conform to future safety regulations.
