Front towing eye<br />
Starting and driving<br />

WARNING<br />
• Remember that the brake servo does<br />
not operate when the engine is off.<br />
Much greater pressure than normal<br />
will therefore be required to operate<br />
the brake pedal.<br />
• Nor does the steering servo operate<br />
when the engine is off. The steering<br />
will therefore be much heavier than<br />
usual.<br />
• The towing vehicle should always be<br />
heavier than the vehicle on tow.<br />
• Never allow passengers to ride in the<br />
car when it is on tow.<br />
• Always seek professional help if the<br />
car needs to be recovered.<br />
• The ignition switch must be in<br />
position 3 if the car is moved with the<br />
engine not running.<br />
• The steering wheel lock must be disengaged<br />
before towing the car.<br />
• The steering wheel lock disengages<br />
when the remote control is inserted<br />
into the ignition switch, if the car battery<br />
has sufficient charge.<br />
WARNING<br />
• Make sure that the towing eye is<br />
screwed in tightly. It has a left-hand<br />
thread!<br />
• The towing eye is only designed for<br />
towing the car on roads. It must not be<br />
used to pull the car out of a ditch, for<br />
example.<br />
• Make sure that all bystanders keep a<br />
suitable distance, in case the towing<br />
eye or tow rope should snap. The<br />
towing eye or tow rope could catapult<br />
off and cause seriously injury.<br />
• Never drive with the towing eye fitted<br />
to the front bumper. Return it to its<br />
designated storage space.<br />
Front towing eye.<br />
The towing eye has a left-hand thread!<br />
The front towing eye is stowed by the spare<br />
wheel. On the right-hand side of the bumper<br />
is a cover concealing the attachment point<br />
(tapped hole) for the towing eye.<br />
1 Press the knob on the upper section of<br />
this cover at the same time as pulling out<br />
the lower edge.<br />
2 Screw in the towing eye. The towing<br />
eye has a left-hand thread!<br />
3 Insert the wheel wrench into the eye to<br />
tighten it properly.<br />
To refit the cover: Start by inserting the top<br />
edge of the cover. Then click in the lower<br />
edge, one corner at a time.
