Left hand drive illustrated, right hand drive on opposite side of centre console.

   CAUTION: The electric parking brake will not function until electrical power is restored it will, therefore, 

be necessary to chock the wheels when vehicle is at a standstill.

   WARNING: Do not release the parking brake until towing is about to commence. Whilst towing, do not 

attempt to remove the ignition key and do not turn the key to any position other than 'II'. With the engine 
switched off, the power assisted steering system and brake booster will be inoperative thereby resulting in an 
increase in the effort required to turn the steering wheel and apply the brakes. 

   CAUTION: The vehicle tow connections should only be used in normal road conditions, 'snatch' 

recovery must be avoided.

   CAUTION: Use the towing/lashing eyes at the front and rear of the vehicle, DO NOT secure lashing 

hooks or restraints to any other part of the vehicle.

   CAUTION: If electrical power is not available and the parking brake is released, it will not be possible to 

re-apply the parking brake. It will, therefore be necessary to select 1st gear  - manual gearbox or 'P' Park - 
automatic gearbox and ensure that the vehicle wheels are adequately chocked to prevent vehicle movement.
