TOWING THE VEHICLE
ON FOUR WHEELS
WARNING
The ignition key must be set to
position II when the vehicle is
being towed so that the steering,
direction indicator lamps and brake
lamps are fully operational. Since the
brake servo and the power steering
do not operate with the engine
switched off, you will need to exert
greater force to the brake pedal and
steering wheel. Make allowances for
the increased braking distance and
heavier steering.
Note: Observe the safety
regulations that are valid for towing
a vehicle depending on country.
When towing always drive off slowly
and smoothly without jerking the
towing vehicle. Excessive tow rope
tension could result in damage to
either vehicle.
