344 If and when
Screw in the tow ring into its position anticlockwise as far as it will go
. Use a suitable tool to firmly tighten the tow ring in its location.
After towing, remove the tow ring by turning it clockwise and put the cover
back in place.
Caution
The tow ring must always be completely and firmly tightened. Otherwise,
it could be released while towing and tow-starting.
Vehicles with a factory fitted towing device, can only be used for towing
with a tow-bar, specially designed to fit on a tow hitch ball. Otherwise, the tow
hitch ball and the vehicle may be damaged. Otherwise, a tow rope should be
used.
Towing advice
Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow-rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique required for towing. For this
reason, this operation is not for inexperienced drivers.
While driving, avoid excessive traction forces and jerking. When towing on an
unpaved road, there is always a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.
If the vehicle is towed, with the hazard warning lights on and the ignition
switched on, the turn signal may be used to indicate changes of direction.
Simply operate the turn indicator lever as usual. Meanwhile, the hazard
warning lights will go off. When the turn signal lever is returned to the rest
position, the hazard warning lights will be turned on automatically.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
Leave the ignition on to avoid locking the steering wheel, to release the
electronic parking brake and to activate the turn signal indicators, the horn
as well as the window wipers and window washers.
As the power assisted steering does not work if the engine is not running,
you will need more strength to steer than normally.
The brake must be depressed much harder as the brake servo does not
operate. Avoid hitting the towing vehicle.
Note the instructions and information contained in the instruction manual
for the vehicle to be towed.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
Accelerate gently and carefully. Avoid sudden manoeuvres.
Brake well in advance and brake gently.
Note the instructions and information contained in the instruction manual
for the vehicle to be towed.
