Towing a broken-down car
Release the parking lock to move the vehicle and put it on the tow
truck. Before performing this procedure, lock the wheels with
appropriate wedges.
ATTENTION:
If the car is on a gradient, make sure that the wedges are correctly
positioned because, if the unlocking manoeuvre is carried out, the
car could move causing damage to people/things nearby.
Proceed as follows:
-
open the bonnet;
-
insert 6-mm hexagonal key into the terminal (A);
-
using the key, press the terminal to end of travel stroke and at
the same time turn clockwise for 10-12 full turns;
-
at the end of the operation make sure to return the terminal to
the initial axial, raised position.
