TOWING

The rear lashing/towing eye (6), must only be used for towing a light vehicle.

Use the front lashing/towing eyes (9) for towing the vehicle on all four wheels from the front.

WARNING: To ensure that the steering does not lock when the vehicle is being towed, it is essential that the ignition key is turned to position ’I’, and remains there while the vehicle is moving. Ensure the following precautions are observed: Do not tow if the gearbox or a drive shaft is faulty. Do not tow if a wheel or drive shafts are touching the body or frame. Ensure the gear lever is in neutral and the handbrake is released. Remember that greater effort than normal will be necessary to apply the brakes if the vehicle is being towed without the engine running.
