Towing
I f the car has to be towed or if it has to
do the towing, the tow line should be
attached to one of the towing eyelets fitted
underneath the car. At the front, the towing
eyelet is situated at the right-hand side
(left picture) on the front axle member, and
the rear eyelet on the right spare wheel
housing (right picture). During towing, the
tow line should be kept stretched to avoid
unnecessary jerking. When towing a car
with automatic transmission, the selector
should be in the "N" position. If a fault in
the automatic transmission is suspected or
i f the level is too low, the propeller shaft
be disconnected before towing.
Starting by towing
The towing car should start smoothly and
be driven at even speed in 2nd gear.
Switch on the ignition, and pull out the
choke if the engine is cold.
Manual gearbox: Engage 3rd or 4th gear
and gradually release the clutch pedal.
Once the engine starts running, depress
the clutch pedal.
Automatic transmission: Place the selec-
tor in "N" position. At a suitable speed,
move the selector to the "L" position. The
engine should then start.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BRAKING
When driving in the rain or through pools
of water, even when washing the car, water
may splash up onto the brake discs and
li nings. This may alter the frictional proper-
ties of the linings.
The brake linings, however, dry fairly
quickly with braking, but sometimes there
may be a certain delay in the braking
effect.
I f you drive long stretches in the rain or
slush, lightly depress the brake pedal now
and again to warm up the linings and thus
dry them. This should also be done when
you drive your car immediately after wash-
i ng it.
