VERSIONS WITH

WARNING
213) Screw on the tow ring and check that
it stops at the end of travel position.
214) Before towing, switch off the steering
lock (see the "Ignition device" chapter in
the "Knowing your vehicle" section).
215) The power brakes and power
steering will not operate while the vehicle
is being towed. More effort on the brake
pedal and steering wheel will therefore be
required.
216) Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that the
fastened joint does not damage adjoining
components.
217)
When towing the vehicle, it
is necessary to obey specific road
regulations which relate both to the towing
device as well as to the behaviour to adopt
on the road.
218)
Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
219)
Towing must be made exclusively
on roads/streets; the device must not be
used to recover the vehicle if it got off the
road.
220) Towing must not be used in order to
get past significant obstacles on the road
(e.g. heaps of snow or material on the
road surface).
221) Towing must take place with the two
vehicles (one towing, the other towed)
aligned as much as possible. Towing by
roadside assistance vehicles, too, must
take place with the two vehicles aligned as
much as possible.
