EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Your car is equipped with a removable towing hook, that
can be used at the front or the rear of your vehicle. The
towing hook is stored in the tool kit beneath the loadspace
floor when not in use.
Towing for Recovery
If, due to an electrical fault, potential safety
hazards may exist, it is not allowed to put the
START/STOP Switch in the ON/RUNNING
position.
To fit the towing hook, first press one end of the small
cover plate (the white dot in the figure above), then open
the small cover plate after the other end is lifted, then
screw the towing hook through the small hole into the
threaded hole on the bumper beam (as shown in the
figure). Ensure the towing eye is fully tightened.
When towing, DO NOT suddenly accelerate
or brake suddenly, this can cause accidents.
The towing speed of a vehicle must not
exceed 20 mph (30 km/h), the towing
distance shall not exceed 30 miles (50 km).
Note: The towing eye cover may be secured to the
bumper by a plastic cord.

Suspended Towing
Both towing points are intended for use by qualified
recovery specialists to assist in the recovery of your car
when a breakdown or accident occur, such as pulling your
vehicle onto the trailer, etc. They are not designed for
towing other vehicles, and must NEVER be used to tow a
trailer or caravan. The car can be towed by using a soft
rope, but a hard rod is preferred.
If your car needs to be towed, most qualified recovery
specialists will use wheel lift equipment to suspend the
front wheels, while the rear wheels remain on the ground.
Ensure the parking brake is released, the hazard warning
lamps are activated and no passengers are left in the vehicle.
