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.

Thoroughly clean the threaded housing before tightening the tow hook.

Before towing, make sure that the tow hook is fully tightened.

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.

With the engine switched off, as the brake servo and the power assisted steering are not working, greater force will have to be exerted on both the pedal and the steering wheel.
