WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power assisted steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the brake
pedal and more effort is required on the
steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements.While
towing, make sure not to damage parts in
contact with the car.When towing the vehicle, it
is compulsory to respect specific highway code
regulations relating to the tow hook and
procedures for towing on the road. Do not start
the engine while towing the car.
