Towing Service; Towing Another Vehicle - Vauxhall Vectra Operation & Maintenance Instructions Manual

Consult a workshop. We recommend your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will
serve you best to get your vehicle back on
the road.
If the automatic clutch has been manually
released in vehicles with Easytronic 3
because of an interruption to the power
supply, towing is not permitted
– see page 176. In this case, consult a
workshop as soon as possible. We
recommend your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
After towing, unscrew towing eye by
rotating clockwise and insert and close the
cap.

Towing service

Entrust your vehicle only to the towing
service of your choice and obtain an
estimate on towing costs before employing
any towing service. In this way you avoid
unnecessary costs and possible insurance
problems during claim processing.
