Towing with a rigid bar:
The towing eyes of both vehicles
should be on the same side.
If the towbar has to run at an angle,
note the following:
d
Clearance may be restricted when
turning corners.
d
If the towbar runs at an angle, lat-
eral forces will be generated (these
may be critical on a slippery sur-
face).
d
To compensate for towbar angular-
ity, the two vehicles cannot always
be driven one directly behind the
other.
d
If the towing vehicle's brakes are
applied, the other vehicle may
overrun it or skid sideways.
a
The towed vehicle should not be
heavier than the towing vehicle.
c
Cars with catalytic converter should
only be tow-started if the engine is
cold. It is always preferable to use
jumper leads from another car or a
separate battery to start the car.
