Towing methods
In come countries, it is illegal to tow your vehicle
with a tow bar or tow rope on public highways.
Please familiarize yourself with the relevant
towing regulations for the country in which you
are driving.
With a tow bar
Rear
The towing vehicle must not be lighter
than the towed vehicle, otherwise it may
be impossible to maintain control.<
The tow fittings used should be on the same
side on both vehicles. Should it prove impossi-
ble to avoid mounting the tow bar at an angle,
please observe the following:
>
Clearance and maneuvering capability will
be sharply limited during cornering.
>
The tow bar will generate lateral forces if it is
attached offset.
Being towed
Attach the tow bar to the tow fittings only,
as attaching it to other parts of the vehicle
could result in damage.<
Make sure that the ignition is switched on,
refer to page 57, otherwise the low-beam
headlamps, tail lamps, turn signal indicators and
windshield wipers may be unavailable. If the
electrical system fails, do not attempt to tow-
start or tow away the car. The electric steering
wheel lock cannot be disengaged and the car is
not steerable. Jump starting, refer to page 230.
Power steering assistance is not available when
the engine is not running. Thus, braking and
steering will require increased effort.<

sure that the tow rope is taut.

stresses on vehicle components when
towing, always use nylon ropes or nylon straps.
Attach the tow rope to the tow fittings only, as
attaching it to other parts of the vehicle could
result in damage.<

ing on local regulations.
