Towing points

Towing points

The vehicle has two threaded sockets, one at the front and one at the rear, for fitting the tow hook which is housed in the compartment in the spare wheel in the luggage compartment under the carpet.

When towing the vehicle, the laws governing towing and road traffic must be obeyed.
Before towing, make sure that the tow hook is fully tightened.
Thoroughly clean the threaded housing before tightening the tow hook.
Turn the ignition key to the ON position and then to the OFF position and DO NOT EXTRACT IT !
When the key is extracted, the steering lock is immediately engaged and it is consequently impossible to steer the wheels.
Whilst towing, as the brake servo and the power assisted steering are not working, greater force will have to be exerted on the brake pedal.
The towing vehicle should be driven as smoothly as possible to prevent the two vehicles striking one another.
Do not use flexible cables for towing and avoid jerking.
During towing operations, check that the tow cable coupling does not damage parts with which it comes into contact.

Vehicle lifting points

To lift the vehicle using a ramp or hoist, place the ends of the arms or hoist only in the areas shown in the figure.
f) With workshop lift
g) With lift with arms.

After having raised the vehicle, support it using safety stands.
Before lifting the rear (front) of the vehicle, lock the wheels using chocks in front of (behind) the front (rear) wheels.

When lifting the front of the vehicle, this may be done only by positioning the lift arm beneath the gearbox-differential unit and placing a wooden or rubber block between the arm and the vehicle.
When lifting the rear of the vehicle, this may be done only by positioning the lift arm beneath the suspension support arms and placing a wooden block between the arm and the vehicle.
