TOWING THE CAR
WARNING For towing the car, abide by
current local regulations. Also follow the instructions
given in the chapter “In an emergency”.
If the car needs to be towed, observe the
following recommendations:
– if possible, put the car on a rescue vehicle;
– if this is not possible, tow the car by raising
the driving wheels (front) from the
ground;
– if this, too, is not possible, the car may
only be towed for 50 km at a speed below
50 km/h.
The gearshift lever should be at position N
for towing.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
when the vehicle is being
towed.
The failure to follow the
above instructions may
cause serious damage to
the automatic gearbox.
Cars with automatic gearbox
may be towed only for
short distances and at low
speed: if longer towing is necessary,
the driving wheels must be
raised to prevent the gearbox from
being pulled into rotation during
towing.
