312001740 - VEHICLE TOWING POINTS

The tow hook, which is supplied with the vehicle, is housed in the tool box, under the carpet in the luggage compartment.

Proceed as follows:

• release the cap A;
• take the tow hook B out of its housing in the tool box;
• fully tighten the ring on the threaded front or rear pin.

Before starting to tow, turn the ignition ON and then OFF, 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.

Whilst towing, remember that as the assistance of the brake servo and the electric power assisted steering is not available, greater force needs to be exerted on the brake pedal and more effort is required on the steering wheel. 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. 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. Do not start the engine whilst the vehicle is being towed.
