WARNINGS
You must switch the ignition on when
your vehicle is being towed. Failure
to follow this warning could seriously
increase the risk of injury or death.
The brake and steering assistance
will not operate unless the engine is
running. Press the brake pedal harder
and be aware of increased stopping
distances and heavier steering.
If your vehicle has a steering wheel
lock make sure the ignition is in the
accessory or on position when being
towed.
Too much tension on a tow rope
could cause damage to your vehicle
or the vehicle that is towing.
When towing your vehicle you must
select neutral. Failure to follow this
warning could damage the
transmission and may lead to a crash or
injury.
Drive off slowly and smoothly without
jerking the vehicle you are towing.
You must only use the towing eye that was
delivered with your vehicle. See Towing
Points (page 196).
Tow ropes or rigid towing bars must be
placed on the same side. For example; right
hand rear towing point to right hand front
towing point.
You must use a tow rope or rigid towing
bar that is of the correct strength for the
weight of the towing vehicle and the
vehicle that is being towed.
The weight of the vehicle that is being
towed must not exceed the weight of the
towing vehicle.
