Vehicle care 139
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes
from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system and close the
windows.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Towing another vehicle
The fixed towing eye is located under
the rear bumper.
Vehicles with a towing hitch have a
socket for the detachable towing eye.
Screw the towing eye, supplied with
the vehicle tools, fully into the socket.
Attach a tow rope - or better still a tow
rod - to the rear towing eye, never to
the rear axle and suspension units.
The rear towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering a
vehicle.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
