Towing
Towing your own vehicle
To open the cover concealing the towing
eye at the front right of the vehicle:
disengage the cover at the bottom and pull
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 235.
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 may be used only for
towing the vehicle, not for rescuing it.
Switch on ignition to release steering
column lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen wipers.
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.
