Towing the vehicle
To open the cover concealing the towing
eye at the front right of the vehicle:

it off downwards.
The towing eye is located in the
compartment containing the jack and
vehicle tools underneath the spare wheel in
the luggage compartment. Vehicle jack
and tools – see page 238.
Picture no: 17734j.tif
Screw in the towing eye anticlockwise as far
as it will go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope
3 – or better still a
tow rod 3 – to the eye.
The towing eye must only be used for
towing and not recovering a vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
column lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper.
Manual transmission or Easytronic
3 in
neutral, automatic transmission 3 in N .
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive
tractive force can damage the vehicle.
To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes from
the towing vehicle, switch on the air
recirculation
3
and close the windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission 3
should be towed facing forward only and
must not be towed faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h) or further than 60 miles (100 km).
If the transmission is defective, or if the
above speed or distance is to be exceeded,
the front axle must be raised off the
ground.

Warning
Significantly greater force is required for
braking: the brake servo unit is only
operational when the engine is running.
Considerably greater steering force is
necessary since this unit is operative only
when the engine is running.
