STARTING AND DRIVING
||
WARNING
The brake servo and power steering do not
work when the engine is switched off - the
brake pedal needs to be depressed
about 5 times more heavily and the steering is
considerably heavier than normal.
1. Activate the car's hazard warning flashers.
2. Secure the towline in the towing eye.
3. Deactivate the steering lock by unlocking the
car.
4. Put the car in the ignition position II - turn
the start knob clockwise without pressing the
brake pedal or clutch pedal for cars with
manual gearbox, and hold the start knob for
approx. 4 seconds. Then release the knob,
which automatically returns to its starting
position.
5. Move the gear selector to neutral position
and release the parking brake.
If the battery voltage is too low, the parking
brake cannot be disengaged. Connect a
donor battery if the battery voltage is too low.
> The towing vehicle can now start towing.
6. Keep the towline taut when the towing vehi-
cle reduces speed by holding your foot gen-
tly pressed on the brake pedal - thereby
avoiding unnecessary jerking.
7. Be prepared to brake to stop.

Jump starting
Do not tow the car to jump start the engine. Use
a donor battery if the starter battery is discharged
and the engine does not start.
IMPORTANT
The catalytic converter may be damaged dur-
ing attempts to tow-start the engine.

Fitting and removing the towing eye
Use the towing eye for towing. The towing eye is
screwed into a threaded socket behind a cover
on the right-hand side of the bumper, front or
rear.
NOTE
If the car is equipped with a towbar, there is
no rear mounting for a towing eye.
Fitting the towing eye
Take out the towing eye from the foam block
under the floor in the cargo area.
