Points to bear in mind

The vehicle must not be tow-started.
If the vehicle is to be towed, only tow it
with all wheels on the ground.
If the vehicle has suffered transmission
damage, only tow it with the propeller
shaft disconnected.
Before towing the vehicle, make sure
the battery is connected and charged.
Otherwise, you will not be able to
switch on the ignition and move the se-
lector lever to N. There will then be no
power assistance when steering and
braking.
