Towing Another Vehicle - Vauxhall Antara Owner's Manual

Vehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
55 mph. In all other cases, and when
the transmission is defective, the front
axle must be raised off the ground.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not tow the vehicle using the
towing eye. Towing with a tow rope
could cause severe damage to the
transmission. When towing a vehicle
with automatic transmission, use flat
bed or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the spoiler. Store towing
eye in the storage compartment
below the floor cover in the load
compartment.
Vehicle tools 3 171.

Towing another vehicle

Remove the cover located on the rear
bumper by pressing the lower part of
the cover.
The rear towing eye attachment is
stored below the floor cover in the
load compartment.
Screw the rear towing eye attachment
anticlockwise using a suitable
screwdriver, until it is firmly in place
and stops in a horizontal position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the rear towing eye.
Vehicle care
The towing eye must only be used for
towing and not for recovering a
vehicle.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
To prevent damage, do not take up
slack in the tow rope too quickly.
After towing, unscrew the rear towing
eye attachment clockwise to remove,
and reinstall the cover.
