Under no circumstances

should a battery charger

be used to start the

engine: it could damage the elec-

tronic systems and in particular

the ignition and injection control

units.

Carefully clean the

threading before fastening

the tow ring. Before start-

ing to tow the car, make sure the

ring has been fully fastened.

Never try to charge a

frozen battery: first let it

thaw out, otherwise it

may bust. If the battery has

frozen, check that the internal

elements are not broken (risk of

short circuit) and that the casing

is not cracked causing the acid to

leak out. This acid is poisonous

and corrosive.

TOWING THE CAR

The tow ring provided with the car

is to be found in the tool box under

the boot carpet.

To fit the tow ring proceed as fol-

lows:

– Remove the clipped in A cover

from the front (fig. 82) or rear

bumper (fig. 83), by using a screw-

driver as a lever in the point shown

in the figure.

IMPORTANT To carry out this

operation, if you use the provided

flat-head screwdriver, cover its head

with a piece of cloth to prevent paint

damaging.

– Screw the tow ring B in its hous-

ing.
