TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
General
•
The car is provided with towing rings on
the right under front and rear bumpers.
A tow rope or bar should only be attached
at these points.
•
The tow rope should always be “elas-
tic” to protect both vehicles involved. For
this reason, only use ropes of synthetic
fibre or of similar elastic material. It is
even safer to use a tow bar.
Always make sure that excessive towing
efforts are avoided and that no jerks are
produced. During towing operations on
unpaved roads, there is always a danger
of overloading the attachment points and
damaging them.
•
Before trying to start the engine by
pulling or pushing, the battery from
another vehicle should be used for
starting it.
If at any time it is necessary to push
or pull the vehicle, keep these points
in mind:
•
Observe the rules in force with respect
to towing.
•
Both drivers should have sufficient tow-
ing practice. Inexperienced drivers should
best avoid towing operations.
•
When using a tow rope, the driver of the
towing vehicle must engage the clutch
very gently when moving off and when
changing gears.
•
The driver of the vehicle being towed
must try to ensure that the tow rope is
always kept tight.
•
Turn on the hazard warning lights on
both vehicles or follow any other perti-
nent rules in force.
•
Turn ignition on so that the steering is
not locked and the turn lights, horn, wind-
screen wipers and washers will operate.
•
As the servo brake only operates with
the engine running, if the engine is not
running it will be necessary to press the
brake pedal much harder.
•
With the power steering and the engine
off, it will be necessary to use more force
to turn the steering wheel.
•
Without lubricant in the manual or the
automatic gearbox, the vehicle can only
be towed with the driving wheels lifted off
the ground.
