TOWING THE 2.0 JTS
SELESPEED VERSION
WARNING For version with Selespeed
gearbox, make sure that it is in neutral (N)
(checking that the car moves when pushed)
and proceed as for towing a normal car with
mechanical gearbox following the instructions
given on the previous page.
Should it be impossible to set to neutral,
do not tow the vehicle; contact Alfa Romeo
Authorised Services.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
when towing the vehicle.
TOWING THE VERSION WITH
AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
(2.5 V6 24V Q-SYSTEM)
WARNING For towing the vehicle comply
with current local regulations. Also follow
the instructions given on the previous
page.
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 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 of
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 a
low speed: if longer towing is necessary,
the driving wheels must be
raised to prevent the gearbox from
being pulled into rotation during
towing.
