Note
We recommend using a tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories, which is
■
available from a ŠKODA Partner.
Towing another vehicle requires a certain amount of practice. Both drivers
■
should be familiar with the particular points about towing a vehicle. Unskilled
drivers should not attempt to tow in another vehicle or to be towed in.
When towing, respect the national legal provisions, especially those which re-
■
late to the identification of the towing vehicle and the vehicle being towed.
The tow rope must not be twisted as it may in certain circumstances result in
■
the front towing eye being unscrewed out of your vehicle.
