Before starting to tow, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP. Do not

remove the key. If the key is removed, the steering lock engages automatically

resulting in the impossibility to steer the wheels.

WARNING

When towing, remember that without the help of the servobrake and power

steering, a greater effort is required on the pedal and steering wheel. Do not use

flexible cables for towing and avoid jerks. During towing operations make sure that

fastening the joint to the car does not damage the components in contact with it.

When towing the car, you must comply with the specific traffic regulations

regarding the tow ring and how to tow on the road.

WARNING

Do not start the engine when towing the vehicle.
