WARNING
Before starting to tow,
turn the ignition key to
MAR and back to STOP again with-
out removing it. Removing the key
automatically engages the steering
lock resulting in the impossibility
to steer the wheels. When towing
remember that without the help of
the engine brake and power steer-
ing greater effort is required on the
pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible cables for towing and
avoid jerks. During towing opera-
tions make sure that fastening the
joints does not damage the com-
ponents in contact with it. When
towing the car, it is compulsory to
follow specific traffic regulations
concerning both the towing device
and behaviour on the road.
