Only use the front 3 and rear 6 towing
points
(never use the drive shafts or any other
part of the vehicle). These towing points
may only be used for towing: never use
them for lifting the vehicle directly or in-
directly.
When the engine
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.

– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad-
visable not to exceed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
