The following precautions should be taken if your
car has to be towed:
•
Unlock the steering wheel so that the car can be steered.
•
Bear in mind the maximum speed limit for towed vehicles.
•
Remember that with the engine switched off, the brake and steering
servo will not work.
•
Approximately four times greater brake pedal pressure will be required
for braking. In addition, the steering will feel heavier than normal.
•
Drive as smoothly as possible. Try to keep the tow line taut so as to
avoid unnecessary jerking.
