Towing The Car - Ikco SAMAND Owner's Manual

Towing the car

Towing the car with a manual gear
box (non-automatic)
Neutralize the gear and turn on the
flashers.
Drive carefully and never exceed the
speed limit of 50km/hr when being
towed
Always keep the tow rope stretched by
gently applying the brake as necessary. It
avoids impact on the rope and its rupture.
- Get help from experienced persons to
carry the car.
Warning
- If the engine is off, the hydraulic Steering
wheel and brake system , do not operate.
- The vehicle on tow should be always
lighter than the towing vehicle.
- The towed vehicle should never have
any passengers.
- Remember that the brake servo does
not operate when the engine is off, and
you need much generator force to operate
on the brake pedal.
Front Towing Ring
Use the ring beneath the front bumper
only to tow the car on 4 wheels.
Warning
- Do not take out the start switch or turn it off when the vehicle is being towed on four wheels since
this will cause the steering wheel to lock. It is recommended to place the switch in the A position.
- We recommend use of a sturdy and fixed bar when towing the vehicle. If using rope or cable
(where it is legal), the towed vehicle should be able to brake (the engine could be turned on).
- Do not tow a vehicle that can not be moved and driven.
- To prevent damage to the vehicle, do not brake violently or speed up suddenly.
-At any rate it is recommended not to let the speed go over 25 km an hour.
- Do not remove or close the starting switch when towing on four wheels, since it will block the
steering wheel. Put the switch in A position.
TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
Rear Towing Ring
The rear ring should be used only to tow
cars lighter or with the same weight.
Do not use the rings for suspending tows
(on two wheels)
