Towing a Disabled Vehicle
Proper towing or lifting equipment
is required to prevent damage to
your vehicle. Use only towing bars
and other equipment designed for
the purpose, following equipment
manufacturer's instructions.
Safety chains are mandatory.
Except for the front and rear threaded
seat to fix the supplied hook (see
"Tool Kit"chapter in this section),
the vehicle is not equipped with
other connection points for towing
operations with tow truck.
CAUTION!
Any improper manoeuvre and use of
unsuitable equipment for recovering
vehicle in an emergency from off road
location could seriously damage the
vehicle. Contact the Service Network
or anyone having suitable equipment
and the required expertise to safely
and properly carry out any required
operations.
Make sure you comply with local
towing regulations.

, refer to the following paragraph

turn off the engine and disengage
the parking brake manually (if
automatically engaged) by using the
command behind the shift lever (see
"Parking Brake" chapter in section
"Driving"). Shift then manually
the transmission out of P (Park) as
