loaded on the flatbed of the rescue
vehicle with all the wheels on the
flatbed.
IMPORTANT For Panda Cross versions,
the tow hooks A fig. 121 the vehicle is
equipped with can only be used for
towing it in an emergency.
WARNING
151) Before starting towing operations,
turn the ignition key to MAR and then
to STOP, without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock when the
key is removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.
152) Before tightening the ring clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the ring is fully fastened in the housing
before towing the vehicle.
153) Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the
brake pedal and more effort is required on
the steering wheel. Do not use flexible
cables 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 vehicle, you must comply with all
specific traffic regulations, both in terms of
the towing device and behaviour on the
road. Do not start the engine while towing
the vehicle.
154) The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the highway
code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transporting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow
rings MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles
off the road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing operations using cables
or other non-rigid devices. In compliance
with the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned as much
as possible along the same centre line.
155) Do not use tow hooks for securing the
vehicle on ships.
