CAUTION
Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
Use wheel lift or flat bed equipment.
Emergency towing
For emergency towing, e.g., when a
towing service is not available, your vehicle
is equipped with the towing hooks under
the front and rear of the vehicle for use
with a tow rope.
When towing the vehicle with the tow
rope:
ï
Secure the rope to the towing hook
under the front of the vehicle as tight
as possible.
ï Switch on the hazard warning flasher
of both vehicles.
ï Place the gearshift lever in neutral and
release the hand brake.
ï Set the ignition in the ON (II) position to
release the steering column lock and to
permit the operation of brake lamps,
horn and windscreen wipers.
ï Only the driver should be in the towed
vehicle to steer it and operate the
brakes.
ï To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes
from the towing vehicles, close the
windows and turn on the recirculation
switch.
If towing is necessary, contact a Daewoo
outlet or professional tow truck service.
Proper lifting and towing precedures are
necessary to prevent damage to the
vehicle.
When towing the vehicle by wheel lift:
ï
Switch on hazard warning flasher of
both vehicles.
ï Set the ignition switch in the "I (OFF)"
position.
ï Place the gear shift lever in neutral
(manual transmission) or the selector
lever in N (automatic transmission).
ï Release the hand brake.
ï Vehicles should be towed with the
driving (front) wheels off the road.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
CAUTION
Never tow the vehicle from the rear with
front wheels on the road as this may
cause the serious damage to the
transmission.
If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent towing the vehicle
with driving (front) wheels off the road,
always use a towing dolly under the
driving (front) wheels.
