Risk of losing the
towed object.
– Use a rigid tow 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.
– In any case, it is advisable not
to exceed 16 mph (25 km/h).
Tighten the towing eye

to the
maximum: first by hand until it stops,
then finish by locking it using the wheel
brace.
Use only the towing ring

and the
wheelbrace 🡺298.
Do not leave the tools
unsecured inside the ve-
hicle as they may be
projected during braking.
