General warnings

When towing the vehicle, it is compulsory to resepct 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 ignition key to the ON position and then OFF and DO NOT EXTRACT IT !

If the key is extracted 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 is stiffer because the brake servo and the power assisted steering are not operational.

The towing vehicle should be driven at as even a pace as possible to prevent counter-shocks.

Do not use flexible cables when towing and avoid jerky movements.

During towing operations, be careful that the fastening joining the joint to the vehicle does not damage adjacent components.

Do not start the engine whilst the vehicle is being towed.
