ATTACHING THE TOW HOOK
fig. 46-47
Proceed as follows:
❒
release the cap
A
;
❒
take the tow hook
B
from its support;
❒
fully tighten the hook on the rear or
front threaded pin.
The brake servo and power
steering will not work while
the vehicle is being towed. You will
therefore need to apply more force to
the brake pedal and steering wheel.
Do not use flexible cables when tow-
ing and avoid jerky movements. Dur-
ing towing, make sure that the trailer
hitch does not damage any compo-
nents it is touching. Respect the rules
of the highway code when towing the
car, specifically in relation to the tow-
ing device and behaviour on the road.

Clean the threaded housing
carefully before fastening the

curely fastened before towing the car.
WARNING
Release the steering wheel
lock before towing (see “Ig-
nition device” in “Dashboard and
controls”).
