TOWING THE CAR

The tow ring provided with the car is

housed in the tool box under the boot

mat.

TOW RING HOOKING fig. 39

Proceed as follows:

❒ release the cap A;

❒ take the tow hook B from the sup-

port;

❒ tighten the ring on the rear or front

threaded pin.

When towing, remember that

without the help of the ser-

vobrake and power steering, a greater

effort is required on the pedal and

steering wheel. Do not use flexible ca-

bles for towing and avoid jerks. During

towing operations make sure that fas-

tening the joint to the car does not

damage the components in contact

with it. When towing the car, you must

comply with the specific traffic regu-

lations regarding the tow ring and how

to tow on the road.
