IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
218
WARNING If a car is towed without
complying with the requirements in
the table, the transmission and/or
the transfer unit might be seriously
damaged. Damage due to incorrect
towing is not covered by warranty.
WARNING A suitable towing or lifting
equipment is necessary for towing, in
order to avoid damage to the car.
WARNING Only use suitable tow bars
and other equipment, following the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Connect the tow bars or other tow
equipment to the main structural
components of the car and not to the
bumper or other related brackets.
WARNING Comply with the regulations
regarding vehicle towing in force in each
country.
WARNING Do not tow using lifting
harnesses. When securing the car to a
row truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your
car may result from improper towing.
FRONT WHEEL DRIVE (FWD)
VERSIONS
It is recommended to tow the car with all
four wheels lifted from the ground on the
platform of a roadside assistance car.
If a breakdown truck with platform is not
available, the vehicle must be towed with
the front wheels LIFTED from the ground
(using a trailer or special equipment
allowing lifting of the front wheels).
WARNING Towing vehicles without
complying with the above mentioned
prescriptions can cause serious damage
to the vehicle.
TOWING THE CAR
To tow the car, refer to the “Towing a
broken-down car” chapter in this section.

WARNING
189)
Before towing, move the ignition
device to ENGINE and then to STOP, without
opening the door.
190)
The brake servo and the
electromechanical power steering will not
work while the vehicle is being towed. You
will therefore need to apply more force on
the brake pedal and steering wheel. Do not
use flexible ropes when towing, and avoid
jerky movements. While towing, make sure
that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, you must comply with all specific traffic
regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the vehicle. Before tightening
the ring, clean the threaded housing
thoroughly. Make sure that the ring is fully
screwed into the housing before towing the
car.
