TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
4
3
– Use a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(where the law allows this),
the vehicle being towed
must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad-
visable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).
Access to towing points
Unclip cover 3 or 4.
Tighten the towing hitch 2 fully: first
by hand until it stops then finish by lock-
ing it with the wheel brace.
Use only the towing eye 2 and the
wheelbrace located under the boot
carpet with the tools (please refer to the
information on “Tools” in Section 5).

Only use the front and rear towing
points (never use the driveshafts).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
